Actually doydie, I find this very helpful. I take Spirolactone (Potassium saving water pill) daily. My blood pressure was still fairly high even with the Lisinopril until I took the water pill. It was like "magic". I do have some Edema; especially in my left ankle; that's why I am taking the pill. The "plus" side effect was lowering my blood pressure and lowering my dose of Lisinopril.

The same with the thread for Charlie's; I have the possibility of going his route; so I find his thread informative as well. Also, your description of him is endearing.

In any case; don't see any whining. You have a way of putting a bit of humor in your responses which often brings a smile.

Thank you for sharing.
