Hi Judy,
I still have very high blood pressure and trying to find something to take it down some. I been on one medicine for yrs and they upped the MG. No luck. Now they have increased another drug I started last July. Discouraging.
I broke a toe while we were in WA for 4 days in Feb. Osteoarthritis is the cause. So I am housebound as I have to wear the boot another month. My tremors are getting worse, so that’s not good. Hope you are doing okay. Beth

Hi, my friend. I have had the symptom of low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension) which causes fainting spells. My cardiologist had me take Midodrine for that. It has helped quite a bit but I still have break through low blood pressure once in awhile. That was one of my first symptoms of Parkinsonism.
We must do lunch again….blessings, Judy
