Bethy~

Sounds like you got a good comprehensive explanation of what's wrong with you! That's always good to be able to understand it all. I was on a beta blocker for awhile, can't remember what it was called. The main thing I ran into was when I was sick, I couldn't take any decongestants. Nothing that might speed up the heart rate, like Sudafed. I think anything with ephedrine. But as long as I wasn't sick, it wasn't an issue. I didn't notice any other side effects, but I also am not a good example, as I was drinking heavily at the time that I was on the beta blocker. Anyway...some advie before your blood work, even though you're fasting, drink plenty of water!! Helps with the hunger, and helps us find your veins. =) Take care and keep us posted!
