Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I seem to be reacting to the new medication. grrrr.... I started on Cardizem LA 180mg daily 12 days ago. Yesterday I called the neph with an update to let them know things seem to be going o.k. Up until today I hadn't noticed any side effects and my b/p had come down a bit on the stuff. (not as far as they wanted but far enough that they plan on keeping me on it) Then today I wake up and notice that I'm starting to feel like I did back in October when my phosphours and sodium levels dipped way low, numbness in my mouth and extremities, bad taste in my mouth, bad odor to my skin, feeling very off emotionally. So today I had to call the neph back and say... " well I spoke too soon, maybe we should check out some bloodwork " *sigh* On the up side I had to be at the lab today anyhow for my weekly U/A. Hopefully they will get the blood results tomorrow and if my levels are starting to fall they will catch it before it gets to the point it was in October....I really don't want to visit that point I was at in October ever again. It was bad, very bad....talk about a blonde with major psycosis due to her electolytes being way out of whack, my husband doesn't want to visit that place ever again either. ) Keep things crossed please, I hate this balancing act. Just when you think you have it down, wham everything gets thrown to the wind again. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
