I do feel rested more than at any time since my stroke, but too soon to tell if sustainable. I just had a fat ball because I was dragging a bit. Good now. I'm fasting again today until supper when I'll have more sauteed veggies and about 5 ounces of sausage. The six pounds I've lost in the last few days is probably water weight, but that is good for my blood pressure. I've cut my pill in half and hope to halve it again soon.

getting the Dr. to de-prescribe medication is like pulling teeth.
Especially a VA doctor. I just did it and checked my blood pressure FREQUENTLY. My worst reading is always before I take the pill before ~6 am. Through the day I hover between 120-135/75-85. I got sick of my VA doctor and found another primary care provider. The drug coverage costs me $20.40 a month, but at least my new doctor responds to my inquiries and requests for pharma changes. She will also order testing based on my requests like for instance the LDL lipid profile. Large particle LDL is harmless, but small particles are the danger. Unless you tell them otherwise they lump the two together and prescribe accordingly.
