Here's my update on the "labs"; Everything looked good on the numbers except for one reading, potassium. In trying to eat healthier I started eating dried fruit when I was grazing, not good, high potassium, pushed my pot. level to 4.5, 4.0 is high end of normal. My neph would like to see me go back on Lisinopril but wants me to get the potassium down in the normal range first. Works better. creatinine is back to 1.5 so things are going in the right direction. Doing a lot of research and trying some things that are safe and make sense. I won't share them though until I'm sure they had a positive outcome for me.
