If this is not the right place to post a question like this, my apologies and please remove it.

I would like to post a private message, I get a message that I can't. I've tried to find out why, but can't.....and I know its right in front of my face somewhere.

Anyway, how does one post a private message to another member. Much obliged.
 
Gaba,

Click on my name and you'll see "Send a private message to Greybeard" as one of your choices. Click on that & it's pretty self explanatory after that.
 
Whadda ya know!!!! YOU were the person I was trying to PM!!!

I did exactly what you just wrote and it said that I didn't have permission to post .....

I really just wanted to ask you about your first experience with a protocol (not amounts, just how you felt). I was a bit nervous, being my age (so thats why Id like to hear from you)but chip's been real patient with me and my pussiness. My blood pressure went up, and being on BP meds, I got concerned. But now, on my third day, its down.

I felt REALLY REALLY shitty the first two days.........don't know why. Last night, I went to bed at 7!!! I went to bed feeling horrible (probably my anxiety) but around 11 pm, I woke up and I felt a lot better. Then this morning, I felt..................NOT DEPRESSED!!!! I mean, I know its may be all in my mind, but the blues were gone. ANd during the day, when it seemed like they were gonna come storming back.........they didn't. I worked out, for me, a real good work out. The first one in a long, long, long time. I smiled more than usual, my employees bugged me LESS than usual, I was polite, I conversed...............Christ, Im gonna be ticked off when I snap out of it.

So, I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed that this is all you and CHip said it was gonna be. ANd I would LOVE to hear your story.

I feel good. I feel happy. I can't remember the last time I said that. Heres to hope for more.
 
Gabagool.... I sent you a pm yesterday. I believe you need to have 30 total posts in order to send a pm. You have 25. So if you even just jump into five different forums and simply say "hi", 5 times, than your post count will be 30. i'm not 100% sure, but i think this is how it works. Or just enter into five more threads with a post and you'll have enough. Hope this helps.

I was just trying to figgure out the same thing.
 
Gearbox.... I'm assuming the avatar pic is you... YOU ARE JACKED BRO!! (NO HOMO)

Way to go chief! Great work!!! WELCOME TO OLOGY'
 
I take it back, I guess its not thirty. I still cant pm and im over 50?
 
glad you are feeling better, just wanted to add

pay attention to those blood pressure meds. they can be the devil, as far as side effects. I went through a assortment of them, weird and bad sides.

on a side note my bp has actually gone down a bit on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), just another benefit.
 
Thanks Cash

Believe me, I wish I could get off the meds, but my dad died at 52 because he didn't take em. I'll take side effects instead of a marble slab. But, I agree with you, its not a med I would like to be on much longer. I hear the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) helps with blood pressure, so will me dropping the fat I need to and getting back into some resemblance of shape.

Hopefully it will all start now.....
 
dont stop them, watch them. Or yourself is what I meant. I had no idea of the side effects possible from BP meds. I also know of people developing the sides after 6months to a year, even though they had no sides to start.
 
Ok
Now Im curious. The sides I know of are almost all sexual. And I don't have those. Which are you talking about.?? I was on one for 4 years and am on Coreg for about one year. I don't think I have any sides, or I hope not.

Thanks for any info.
 
there are a lot of possibilities
cough
feeling of not being able to clear your throat
depression
suicidal thoughts
tired, unable to get rested
unable to get up
lack of motivation
some meds make you puke regularly
basically there are 4 types of BP meds and all have sets of possible side effects. Dose amount effects sides, time of day taken also. Now there are drugs that combine two of the four types so you could get a mix of sides. Just look up the sides of whatever you are taking and read the possible sides. I now do this with all meds. Cholestrol meds are similiar I hear.
You are on a beta-blocker, just read the possible sides for your med and all beta-blockers in general, compare to how you feel. It is good to know what to look for.

Holy Shit......that stupid feeling of not being able to clear your throat I've had that this year, it causes me to snore.........Thanks, man, Ill check up on this.
 
Lisinopril, Atenolol, Hydrochlorate daily.....

Don't self medicate and think you know more than the Doc. Take your BP meds until THE DOC tells you to quit. EVEN IF YOUR FEELING SO MUCH BETTER.

Ask me how I know... LOL!!!
