You asked about this in another thread & I gave some brief comments but will expand a little here. I've not been on that combo per se but have been on metoprolol and had really horrible experiences on it. Hope to never have take that drug again. I guess I should say that everyone is different...

Maybe I'll just paint STARBUCK on the undersides (or tops) or my wings (referencing something from an episode of the Battlestar Gallactica reboot series)....

I'm addicted to those! The regular ones don't do much for me but the white cheddars are to die for. Please keep handing those out to the seagulls - think I'll come back as one in the next life and head out to SD. I'll be eating out of your hand. Will do some tricks so you'll know it's me!!

Congrats on finding what sounds like finding a good Dr. Someone willing to listen & giving good answers is very impt. Someone you trust can make a world of difference in your attitude and ease your mind. Right there is a reason to celebrate. Am surprised he said it was OK to drink coffee and...

Looks like from the photos those are WHITE CHEDDAR cheeze-zits! Yummm... Oh & here's a welcome to the bionic heart club from Joe Walsh:

Just to be clear - my message to you is not that album name ("So What") it's the song name ("Welcome to the Club) !!!

Yeah, I will try doing that, but feel it will be a waste of time (will be given a wrong answer or them not even understanding at all). Heck, I recently had an MRI and I called them to ask in advance what my cost would be (long story). The $ amount answer they gave me for that straightforward...

I'm in this situation right now. Only been self-managing since around June 2023. Had supply of strips on hand and still some left but they all expire end of March. I just asked same Qs that Protime raised in a different thread, then came to this one & realize I should have asked here...

A very dumb question (from someone with strips expiring in about 6 months and no longer on a managed service) - is it possible for insurance to pay for strips/supplies or do they only do it via a managed service (I need to ask mine I guess), and another question, is a PRESCRIPTION needed to buy...

Natural to freak out. Anyone would. I even freaked out when I learned 5 years after my OHS that I had another blockage and would have to undergo a cardiac cath procedure. I almost gave myself a heart attack worrying about having another heart attack! Easier said than done but the key is to...

Thx for the red circle annotation. I spent hours (ok, exaggerating, more like 2 minutes) looking at your post but could not see the "red bellied black" and had no idea what it was supposed to be. Now that I see it, it doesn't look very big - that's nothing! I once ran over a huge snake that...

You guys are making me jealous about the ticking sound. I've not once in the ten years that I've had it have heard my mechanical valve tick, tock, burp, gurgle, clang, bang, whiz, jangle, whistle, or make any sound whatsoever. Maybe it's not working? I can however hear the wall clock...

(Sorry, couldn't resist!) Best wishes.

Welcome. I'm also in the Philly area, not too far from Exton. There does seem to be a lot of cardio Drs & Surgeons/Hospitals in this area. Don't be afraid to "shop around" for a surgeon who you feel comfortable with if it looks like you will have to pursue that - but you may just be fine as...

Ugh. I started my own home testing in about June of last year. Had a supply of strips lasting me until March. Thought I would be going the ebay route as you folks mentioned up here and pay out of my own pocket but sounds like that won't work now. I am going to have to find out how I can get...

I had to get away from Biotel as well (detailed all they hassles I had with their billing dept earlier in this or other threads). I did not go to another company though, I went to the do-it-yourself model after having ridiculous hassles with billing for 2 out of 3 monitoring companies I used...

dick0236 said: like brushing your teeth😉 I brush my teeth with warfarin - kills 2 birds with one stone! It's one of the tenets of "Warfarintology" :-)

I think it was. I was glued to the TV for 2 days binge watching it - when I first started it was midnight & intended to just watch one episode then go to sleep but I couldn't stop, was just too intense and addicting, stayed up until like 3 AM! Then finished it the next day. The...

You'll (spookygal) be fine. Many of us here had BAVs our whole lives (with murmurs). I bet tons of people out there in the wild do and never need surgery. Sounds to me by the time you'd need the valve replaced - if that ever even comes up - the technology & procedures will be so advanced...
