[QUAD-L] Unidentified subject!
hi, all... my family doctor is running a lot of blood tests on me at this time, he wants me on more new meds,,, i'm afraid of adding more different drugs to my list i already take. He wants me on some drug to raise my blood pressure--( i asked why after almost 12 years of low he said low can be bad also and i may feel better?? i have the new script but not taken any so far because i need to buy a blood pressure cuff to check with. does it make sense to take this?? he wants me on more new meds too-i'm a bit afraid of more drugs.

I have tried to subscribe to quad-l...@eskimo.com. I don't know much about computers. The one I am using is at my daughter's school. Twice there have been failure notices when I tried to send a question about tilting shower chairs for my husband (he's a c5,6 quad for 1 yr.). Probably I am doing something wrong, and can't figure it out. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. MomOfMany
[QUAD-L] about docs giving new drugs
Hello, I wanted to add something about drugs that some will disagree with. If you keep going in to see the doc too often you will inevitibly be put on more drugs. One of the keys to living long as a quad is a happy medium with prescription drugs. If you keep going in a getting checked when everything is rolling normal(for a quad) you are actually risking your health A comparison to this is if you take your car in and get the transmission checked when its running fine. The shop might mess with it and cause it to leak! Also many docs dont even understand diddly about a quad..they really dont have a clue what it normal and whats a probem. But as far as blood pressure almost every quad out there has low blood pressure. ron c7
