Lil: Gosh, I'm really sick this time. The flu I think. Thanks for the well wishes. You get better too. I've been in my nightie and robe since Thursday! Never took a flu shot yet as I've been sick and have been tested so much with that tummy stuff so long. I just finished hopefully the last an final test Wednesday! Now this.

Sydney: Hi, I'm Dana, nice to meet you.

We are all so different and react so differently to meds. RSD is so very frustrating. What works for one doesn't work for another. The field of medicine is frustrating.

How about when you need antibotics? Do you do ok? Having your body not react or process properly to antibotics given for infection could be truly very dangerous. I do know that if you need let's say one type of antibotic alot your body may become immune to that antibotic so it not all that great to go on antibotic alots. ie: every time you get lets say the common cold or flu etc. Let the body fight it off if it can without antibotic.

But does your body respond to the normal dosing of antibotic when necessary? Or is this part and parcel to this condition called P450. Scary.

Aloha!

I want to thank everyone for their input on this topic. I did go to my appt friday and when I told my Dr about the increased leg pain she took me off of the Zetia. She said I would just have to watch what I eat and try to get it down that way, because most of the cholesterol drugs do cause additional leg pain, and with the RSD and Fibromyalgia I just don't need additional pain.

Dana I did try trazadone years ago, but don't think it worked well. I am like Sydney, meds just don't affect me the way they do other, even antibiotics. There have been time that I had taken oral antibiotics for an ear infection without any help, then I did a week of antibiotic shots, still didn't clear it up, so I had to go to the hospital everyday for IV antibiotics, and after a week still had an infection. Strange, huh?

Well I am a junk food junkie and have always been able to eat what i want and didn't really gain weight until recently. If anyone has some good low cholesterol ideas please let me know. Recipes that any of you use?

LisaM, thanks for posting all of the info on the Zetia for me Friday, and I am sorry I didn't get back online this weekend, but i was in bed with a migraine. I didn't feel like coming to work today, but needed to.

I hope you all have a good day.

Hugs and thanks to you all,
Janet
