Cathy, you wouldn't happen to be eating grapefruit or oranges/vitamin c are you? My FIL said that recently his meds for the same thing weren't working and he almost went to the hospital. He read his medical book and found out that that kind of fruit will hamper the effects of those kinds of meds. -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles

[> Thanks Shippermom but know I'm allergic to Citrus and don't care for grapefruit. I don't take vitamin c because it gives me sores in my mouth. I wonder if it could be something else thought. I'll ask my Dr. this week when I see him. -- Cathy F., 20:17:09 01/15/12 Sun [1]

[> [> you may want to google the name of your med and adverse foods and see what pops up- that will give you a week to change your diet - many doctors (no offense doc) don't pay attention to things - for instance - a friend of mine has krones which can cause arthritic flare ups - never have they told her when it flares up- that nightshade foods (tomatoes potatos and egglplant) aggrivate it - but they do. -- chris k, 05:39:40 01/16/12 Mon [1]
