That's just it Amanda. Why do you still have to suffer if you are on meds? Why don't the meds work better? I just don't get it. It makes me angry actually. I take a pill every morning to maintain my thyroid level. It works like a charm. Why can't they do the same with my BP symptoms? It just doesn't make sense to me and that is a big part of why I have gone this long without them. I am still waiting to hear from that person for whom the meds provide them a significantly better quality of life then I am living without the meds. I read the forums and it seems meds or no meds everyone here hits hard times just like I do. I guess any improvement is worth something but I just think they should be able to do better then that for us.
