Barbara,
Welcome to the board and thanks for the question. Grapefruit has a nasty habit of interacting with certain medications. Statins and antibiotics are two classes of drugs which can't be taken with grapefruit. Or perhaps I should say it this way: Grapefruit in any form can't be eaten or drunk when you are on these medications.
Please pull up a chair and join our conversation. We are glad to have you here.
That pesky post button hits again!
I probably did!!!
Let me give you some background on my diabetes. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in June 2004. While getting chemo, I found it difficult to go up steps and had a cough. My doctor told me it had nothing to do with the chemo. WRONG!! I was allergic to the platinum in the chemo but was given it for three more months before I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. I was also on a steroid with the chemo and gained 20 lbs. The chemo gave me pulmonary fibrosis. I became very ill, could hardly breath and was in the hospital when my oncologist told me that only 1% of people in the world
Barbara,
One of the things you will find out about us around here is that there aren't any saints here! We all mess up periodically and we fess up when we do!!
I do hope that your health issues calm down but it sounds like you are doing so much better. I also go to Curves but I go 4-5 days per week. I wasn't losing weight on going three times per week. I do try to walk on the weekends but I am only moderately successful with that.
