Blood pressure meds making neuropathy worse?

@ray666 - Hi Ray! Happy Tuesday to you also my friend! My fall recovery is going well. My eye still has a bruise under and around the edge but it's getting lighter. The scar is actually hard to see in the old man face wrinkles and looks to be healing really well. I just keep a little Vaseline on it daily like the PA at the ER that stitched me up recommended. I'm always concerned about new meds and looking up any possible side effects fearing the worse. Sometimes it makes it difficult to weigh the benefits with the risks. The longer I live I seem to feel like having a glass that is half full feels much better than having one that is half empty. 🙃

Hoping your day is a good one! I think I'm going to venture outside and shovel the snow off our deck (not a big job) and get a little exercise in and test my heated vest to make sure it's still working 🙂

Hi, John. Snow off the deck? Heated vest? My gosh, you might consider moving to Colorado. We're having spring-like weather. That's surprising – also, a little alarming. When I first moved out here, our winters were legendary: snow piled windowsill high. These past few years? I feel silly even tossing a snow shovel in the back of my Jeep. I feel the same about adding meds. If I remember correctly, my PCP had me taking Amlodipine some years ago, and for a reason that's lost on me now, she took me off of it. I've just left her a message, asking about Amlodipine and any side effects possibly related to PN symptoms. Ah, the ol' glass half full. etc., question! For me, definitely not the empty glass. But between the full glass and the empty glass? Mmm? That's a puzzler. It depends. In most cases, I'd choose the full glass – unless I'm reading. If I'm reading, I'd rather spill a half glass on the $35 book I'm holding. Less mess. 🙂 –Ray (@ray666)
