I totally see what you're saying Kymaro, but I can also tell you my dad has high blood pressure, needs to take meds and has had to totally revamp his eating, and he gets angry at it all the time. It's affected his kidneys....half the time he eats bad foods and my mom is furious but he 'feels fine" so he wants to eat what he wants to eat...
i think lots of people who have lots of different illnesses, whether it's BP or even physical illnesses, get frustrated because it sucks to know you have to deal with something for the rest of your life.
Even the stupid migraines I get - I've had to cut out certain foods, perfumes...my favorite food, peanut butter....my life is changed forever and i take maintenance medications just for that....

I don't think we're hating on it - I think we're just frustrated like anybody else who has any other illness. Nobody wants to take meds for the rest of their life, no matter what they are for. Even when we know they are helping us.
