Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm getting confused here - there seams to be a conversation going on under " Re: 's Conn's Srory " that I'm not a Part of. Is that how it normally works? > > > >> > >> > >> Are muscle cramps the good indication of low K? Can I take K supplements only in case if I have them? Mostly I don't. I don't count beans and even don't count K and Na, but I eat about 10 and more servings of vegetables and fruit, 7 servings of grain, some low fat yogurt, milk and cheese and less that 1 serving of meat, poultry or fish. It works excellent for me, Max. What was strange for me that I don't gain weight, I was very suspicious and didn't believe Dr. Grim on that. > >> > >> Natalia Kamneva 66 Russian F with 1.5 cm adrenal adenoma, HTN and low renin , low aldosteron and high cortisol, K=3.4. > >> > >> > >> > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I belong to other group sites most don't always stay on subject. You are the first one that has said any thing about testicle pain So we started asking it. I think if you read what is writen you will see it has some thing to do with you > > > > > >> > > >> > > >> Are muscle cramps the good indication of low K?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Not only looking dumb but being dumb and not doing anything. Could be a lipoma eg.I think I noted to him that lisin and losart and metoproloal and possibly amodipin will not work on BPand HCTZ will lower K. CE Grim MD said: "It is around June of 2010 and the BP meds are as follows: AMLODIPINE BESYLATE 10 MG, CLONIDINE 0.2MG/24hr patch, HYDROCHLOROTHAZIDE 50 MG, LISINOPRIL 40 MG, LOSARTA N 100 MG, METOPROLOL TARTRATE 400 MG, MINOXIDIL 10 MG, and POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 40MG SA. (Does anyone see any problems yet? That’s only 8 including Potassium!) With all this we are able to get/keep my BP in the 160ish/83ish range. It will “float” 10 pts. either way. He took me off HYDROCHLOROTHAZIDE and MINOXIDIL and put me on FUROSEMIDE 40 MG and (drum roll here would be appropriate) SPIRONOLACTONE 25 MG. He ordered some blood work, gave me a target BP goal of 140/80 or lower and wanted to see me again in about 6 weeks. (That turned out to be an easy goal, I was almost instantly in the mid 130’s over 70ish area!) He ordered up a CT Scan and raised the SPIRO to 50MG. I saw a resident Endocrinologist and my BP’s were running in the mid 1teens/low 60’s (116/62, 118/64, etc.)" Some issues, . First, what about DASHing? Has anyone ever told you about it? Second, you cannot have AVS while on spiro. One doc at U of Michigan does it while on spiro but I don't know of any research that supports it. Finally, you should not have an adrenal removed without first having AVS. That adenoma you see might just be sitting there just looking dumb. It's a bitch spending your life looking for the culprit, eh? Val From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of Clarence GrimTell us how your BP has done on spiro and DASHing? Here is a draft of my story to date. Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I didn't know if you wanted it as a seperate file so you are getting it both ways!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 You also have to note he has embedded kidney stones. Although he doesn't think this is the source of the pain. > >> > > > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> Are muscle cramps the good indication of low K? Can I take K supplements only in case if I have them?
