MrsD, thank you for the info. No I didn't know. I've been on lisnopril for 8 years. It is about time I had it reevaluated anyway due to the hi and low swings. Haven't read all your links yet, but I'll finish 'em up tonight or tomorrow. It is all very interesting and concerning.

I do have RSD in my bladder too. I often get infections. The connection you mention between bladder infections and lisinopril concerns me for this reason.

As far as breathing, I was just diagnosed with restrictive lung disease. I'm on Advair until I can get in to see the Pulmonary Specialist.

I have a sister with MCTD (currently in remission). From what I read, it is a precursor to Lupus. I'm not sure there is any familial connection, but when you mention it in your post, it sent up another flag for me.

And, the swelling and HAE ...

Sorry about all your difficulties. Glad to hear that your BP is back under control with the one new medication without further complications. Hope you will be recovered soon from those complications. Also hoping for better days ahead for you. Thank you again.
