Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Give us a break! This is one of the worst questions I have seen in 10 years.I suspect you are marketing something and if so you will be banned.CE Grim MDI wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a symptom of PA.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Excuse me??!!! What kind of comment is that? I asked if anyone had/has skin issues as a symptom or result of PA. Why would that be wrong to ask? Along with constant thirst and never being able to become hydrated I thought maybe people experienced the same problems I have and if not then I know it is something altogether different. Dr. Grim, I think you are a phony pompaus A#$ > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a > > symptom of PA. > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 My skin is extremly dry no matter how hard I try to hydrate and I even get small bumps everywhere. I didn't know if it is related somehow. I guess I am just surprised to learn that alot of things I have had issues with over the past few years are a result of PA. Just thought I'd ask. > > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a > > > > symptom of PA. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 My husband has issues with flare-ups of very flaky itchy skin just under his eyebrows which gives him a great deal of trouble. He's had this ever since the high BP's started and has been using 1% cortisone cream off and on ever since. It doesn't really help and I tell him all it's doing is thinning out that skin. Interestingly, a flare-up is ALWAYS associated with a stressful event, even a minor short term stress, whether it be a difficult situation at work or a disagreement here at home. I definitely associate it with his PA. > > > > > > > > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues > > as a > > > > > > > symptom of PA. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 It would be very hard to prove that dry eyes and skin are caused by PA.I also have dry eyes as well skin. But so do many that don't have PA. What I think is it should be part of a list on many things that could help in Dx PA. I have seen many things listed on here that by them selve may not mean much. Or at least Dr don't seem to think so. This is one of the things Dr Grim is trying to find out is what we all have for SX. No one knows all that High Aldo or low Renin does. > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a symptom of PA. > > > > No idea if it is related to PA cause I do not see any relation but still, I have very very dry skin, and very dry eyes... tc > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Mr. Grim I didn't ask you to answer my question so you can stop making comments to me. I am asking others.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I understand. I just have a hard time with " Dr. Grim " being so rude. It's too bad. This is all new to me and at first I thought it would be helpful to seek answers to fellow PA patients but I have to say I don't need the rudeness. I am not speaking of anyone else except this " Dr. Grim " . I think telling people for $500 he will help is rude in itself. > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a symptom of PA. > > > > > > > No idea if it is related to PA cause I do not see any relation but still, I have very very dry skin, and very dry eyes... tc > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 @Lettie Maddan I have seen hundreds of posts from Dr. Grim in the past month's he has always been very helpful, and not once I have seen him ask for money, he has just advices people to get one on one consultation and that he would help for months, for only 500$, what physician does that ? And I think that's only a a figure to charge something, and he is normally referring people to other physicians, and he HELPS without charging a cent here. he got defensive about the skin condition, and I understand it, we can get a LOT of spam in this group, and we have gotten it before, so one can be jumpy, even I have been extremely annoyed at people promoting stuff, that has no relation to PA or anything This group belongs to Dr Grim, and if he wanted he could do with it whatever he pleases, this group is not a right, it's a privilege. And now for the rude part, if you don't like it just leave the group, it's so easy to quit and stop listening to us and " Dr. Grimm " (as you call him ) R.S. > > > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a symptom of PA. > > > > > > > > > > No idea if it is related to PA cause I do not see any relation but still, I have very very dry skin, and very dry eyes... tc > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 osalva,I called him " Dr. Grimm " because I thought that is what his name is. I know this is his group and I can leave if I want to but thank u for reminding me.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Dr. G, I am glad that a lot of people have gotten their lives back because of you. I believe it. I also believe there is a lot to be learned here. I just have a hard time with attitudes, that's all. Plain and simple. Like I originally said I found this site hard to navigate therefore couldn't find some of the information that you felt I should have already read. It felt like an attack and I don't need that nor does anyone really. Anyway I know it is my choice to be here. > > > > > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a > > symptom of PA. > > > > > > > > > > > > > No idea if it is related to PA cause I do not see any relation > > but still, I have very very dry skin, and very dry eyes... tc > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The problem with not buying infused meat is finding it. We have gone away from stores that cut there own meat to meat cutting factories some outside the US. Infused meat looks fresh longer. Also makes cheaper cuts of meat more tender. When one has limited funds many times can only afford high salt foods. > > Stop buying infused meat. I don't think soaking meat in water for a while would do much of anything.

Thank you, Val. If I soak the meat in a cold water for while, does it help? I have different symptoms that is difficult to describe. It's difficulty to breath, very unpleasant feeling in my stomach, fainting, bloating in my hands, feet and stomach. Something like that.
