Thank you for this important information  |
I appreciate your feedback/support.
I'm always reticent to go OT. In some cases, it's well worth it to share some critical information. Blueberrybook has opened the door in this case.
I do care very much about Blueberrybook's welfare. Blueberry may already have this information. It's best to be safe and to offer the info. anyway.
I repeatedly offer this info to the community. Several people have written to me, telling me they have insisted upon an EKG due to this info being offered here. In my case, an EKG had alerted both me and my pdoc that we could not safely add another med holding this potential. An EKG, in these cases, can be life-saving.
The QT interval prolongation post is an educational post for Blueberry, as well as for anyone who reads, including the many who are "lurking."
I have checked with ~Christina re: my having gone OT. I am thankful to have her blessing.
It does take extra time/effort to repeatedly write on this topic; however, I lcare about this community and offer this info with love.
