We didn't get that far. It works well from some people, just not Reed.

Hey Rita, I didn't give that a thought when I wrote about the patch. So far, I have not had a problem with my BP, but I do know that the Doctor said I need to watch it. Ya know, it never fails, though, something that works always seems to have something else that prevents us from taking it. I know that every time I had a bit of relief from some kind of med or something, there was an adverse reaction that stopped me from taking it. I hope that this patch works and don't mess up my BP. I have really good blood pressure, like 100 over 60. Hopefully mine won't drop cuz it isn't high or enough to drop too much. Sorry about Reed, wish it would have worked.
