Recently I have been feeling better, slightly improved breathing, a lot more energy and general well feeling. What bothers me is I have no idea why, I would like to know why so I can keep a hold of it ;D. Certain things have changed, its warmer and spring time, my cholesterol medicine has been changed and I am now on blood pressure medicine, it was high, could that be it? I have been reluctant to mention this but its gone on for a few weeks now, Marilyn commented yesterday that I am doing jobs that have waited a long time. Input requested  . |

Larry,
It sounds to me like it could be a combination of all of those things. I also see a difference in your emails and post. I finding speakingn out on many you would not have even a year ago. But something else I think Marilyn's jest for life has played a positive roll . Another Sam, some how kids just bring out the best in us I thinki the beauty Miss Sam does ths for you. They maike you feel needed and wanted. Like with Lewis you know he needs a stable figure in his life so you have stood up to the plate. And last its about time the good guys got a break.
Enjoy it while you can.
Rose

Hi Larry--I agree wholeheartedly that the blood pressure medicine can make you feel sluggish. I noticed that you said it was getting warmer where you live and it's spring. There is normally more pollen in the air in the spring and warmer months which inhibit our breathing greatly and cause sob along with the possibility of higher humidity. I'm not sure what your barometric pressure or humidity level is but you might want to keep an eye on those things since they affect our breathing. I hope each gets better for you....Joyce  |

Now I am more confused, Bobbi says BP meds made her feel better and Joyce says they make you feel sluggish ;D. I will just ride with it and see where it goes  |

Larry-- remember each person is different and the meds react differently on different people. A lot of things have changed for you in a short time so hard to get specific of what is making you feel better. But as long as it works I would continue as I am doing.
Just glad you are doing better and hope it continues.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better/more energetic Larry....
As for BP meds. Depending on the type of BP med and the doage; you can be feeling much better (more energetic) or feel like you're walking around with a 50 pound pack on your back. So you see both ladies are right.

Larry, it's great to hear you are feeling much better, and I hope it continues.
I agree with everyone that it is probably the med changes. Some of them can knock us on our keesters. Especially the BP and Cholesterol lowering ones.
One of the BP meds I was on, Norvace, was just awful!! It gave me bronchospasms and made me extremely tired.
Now I'm on Diavon and HCT and don't feel bad at all.
