I have gained 13 kilos (30 pounds) since my PN started March 2005.
I actually gained the weight between June 2005-June2006. Those were the days I was the most medicated.

I was put on Dothep 150 mg nightly. The Dothep caused palpitations,so the neuro asked me to take 50 mg Betaloc with the Dothep to counter act the palpitations. Somewhere around the same time I started having the anxiety/panic symptoms and I noticed my BP was quite elevated during the episodes. Well this then sort of evolved into a daily hypertension problem with intermitent hypertension spikes.

I am no longer on Dothep but I take 50 mg Betaloc x 2 daily
and also 4mg of Atecand (Arb)
Also I take 20 mg of Nexium for Gerd

If I am experiencing alot of pain I take paracetomal with codeine (OTC).

I get at least 3 if not 4 days of exercise a week. I power walk for 30 minutes,and I also may go swimming once or twice a week more. I want my own treadmill, but it costs too much money. I really need to add more exercise.

Thank you-
