Medication: I'm off the blood pressure medication since the first batch of CCO and my blood pressure is always in normal range. I can go off the cholesterol medication now; after all the threshold for high cholesterol has been reset over the years (just raised again last month) and I don't necessarily believe mine is high. Here are the remaining categories:
-Thyroid. I lost my thyroid in 2012 when an E.R. Doctor found growths on it when doing a shoulder xray. An endocrinologist said we had to take it out becaues taking out just the growths would result in them growing back. They did not find cancer. I've been on a stable amount of hormone replacement since 2012. It's gone down slightly. We are new to each other as my old primary left.
-Vitamin D. I've been deficient for years. It could be lack of light exposure or something else. I was taking 2,000, then 3,000, now 5,000. My new supplier uses coconut oil not olive oil in the caplet/capsule.
-Reflux. I've had reflux since the 80s. 20Mg omeprazole
-Diabetes. I'm in Apidra using an Accu-check pump. I have a bolus rate of 1:14, adjustment 1:30, basal between 1.6 and 2.0. My last A1C was 7.1. When I was diagnosed I was at 12 and using a ton of insulin. My first ratio was 1:5. When I don't eat chocolate I bolus almost no insulin. I have one spot of damage on my left eye that is not in my field of vision and no other neuropathy.
-Sleep apnea and restless leg. My neurologist prescribes 600mcg melatonin, 50mg seroquel and 900mg gabapentin (RLS). He's on board with the cannabis.
-PTSD. 80Mg propranolol lowers my startle response.
-Glaucoma. Two types of drops. Brominidine and Xalatan.
-Psychotropic meds. 40Mg Fluoxetine, 250 Lamotrigine. He's on board with the cannabis.
Kidneys were damaged by 20 years of taking Ibuprofin for sinus headaches. 800Mg every 8 hours at least 3 times a week. I had no idea what it would do. No one warned me. I have 35-40% function. I keep my diet low sodium and drink lots of water.
