I 'ache'!

I feel 'achey'!  As if my not sleeping, always being tired, feeling groggy and just not have any energy was not enough (thank you menopause!!!), NOW I feel achey!  I am wondering if it is my meds.  A month ago I started taking Caduet.  I gave up.  My dr has been wanting to put me on a cholesterol med but I tried to do it without.  The over counter stuff I had that was working, they changed the formula for and the next time I had my cholesterol checked it was back up...    Since it appeared that it was time to change my bp meds, I asked about the Caduet.  One pill, two meds. 


I was given a month's worth of samples till I got my mail prescription.  I didn't get it sent in as I should have and was without for two nights.  I took it again last night and just sitting I ache!  I did read the thing today that came with the meds.  When they give you samples at the drs office they seem to 'take' them out!  It says if your mucles ache to call your dr immediately!  Well, I think I had some aching at night before I started so is this related?  Will it 'go away'?  Should I feel as if I need to take pain meds to go along with the Caduet? 


Oh, I will step down from my soap box now and quit whining....     I just needed to vent!

Aging isn't for sissies either! The last two nights I have been awaken several times with the drenching sweats. So needless to say I am tired. It doesn't help that we have been really busy at work either. But tomorrow is a holiday and I don't intend to do anything but watch the fire works tomorrow night.


Cheryl, I hope that you feel better real soon

Don't know if this would work for you, but I just discovered that Promise has come out with a yogurt with plant sterols. Its a little bottle that you drink similar to the danactive stuff. It comes in 3 flavors, peach, strawberry and I dont remember the other, maybe raspberry. I know my numbers went down quite a bit when i was using the centrum vitamins with the sterols, but they stopped making that version.

this new stuff is not sugar free, but it is lower calorie than some.
