No they are free of charge and my reading was much lower than at the doctors office but realistically so. I don’t believe they are rigged but I could be wrong

On my same visit, 20 minutes apart, it was 160 on machine, 142 when nurse took it again manually. When I asked why the big disparity, that is what she told me. It happened again on another visit. I refuse to get my own machine, I tend to be obsessive like my father.

I love your post. Most people your age and some younger are on about 5 or more different meds. I feel the same way as you. We all choose to live our life as we deemed fit for us.

Not enough readings to come to a conclusion. Usually readings tend to be higher at the doctors offices.

On the same visit, 20 minutes apart? On your next appt ask to have it done both ways.

I would expect it to be different in two different places and circumstances. I was turned down for insurance at 18 years of age. Strange Doctor and pressure went up. That's normal for me but not for everyone. My doctor doesn't even tell me the numbers. He just says thats fine. My machine gives me an average over multiple readings. I wonder what my pressure is when playing slots.

Yes Garlic contains allicin which is the ingredient that lowers blood pressure and it’s in natural garlic bulbs and freeze dried garlic in suppl
Deodorized garlic is more acceptable for others but probably works no better. Kyolic is a great brand for garlic and this one here is a great price.
Look at the label to see how much allicin is in each.
This garlic has been grown without pesticides which is another huge consideration. You don’t want bleached out garlic grown in Asia or garlic grown with a large amount of pesticides.
Aged garlic is more effective but more stinky. Another good reason for supplement form and you and ‘most’ welcome.

Well I googled it, and decided to give it a try. Maybe I can ease off of my script ? Thanks for the info.
You are most welcome rgp and I wish you the best of luck. If you can work up to walking everyday, it would help greatly in a short period of time.
Muscles deteriorate if not being used BUT they certainly can be strengthened if challenged. My 90 year old father could barely walk or get out of a chair on his own but once he started walking and expecting more of himself, he improved greatly.
It’s well with the effort and WILL offer pain relief.

Trust me Keesha....I have tried ! I used to be a very physically active person, years back I boxed, &, up until [about four years ago] I trained [like a boxer] 4-5 days p/week. But with the arthritis & Stenosis , it is just out of the question now. I did stem cell in Jan of 18 ......I was really amp'd up about that, hoping for relief.....nothing. As a matter of fact since then, I have lost about 50% of use in my right shoulder. Can't raise it past about half way, etc.
I won't go into the boring details & sound like a pity party but, form time to time, I do try again.....but as time passes ya just give up.
Actually rgp, you have persistently been seeking better health since I’ve known you and I don’t see your comments as a pity party in the least.
Well I hope you are at least doing a series of stretching exercises. Since you’ve been an athletic man in the past and know your body better then anyone, you’d be best for figuring out some type of physiotherapy and if you are not successful at it then I would seek independent physiotherapy.
Maybe that’s why I’ve increased my walking lately, after witnessing my moms sudden downfall after the last stroke, it’s been a real wake up call. Because my dad wouldn’t give up his POA rights my mom didn’t get the care she needed as quickly as she did and her health took a nose dive. She desperately needed physiotherapy and didn’t get it so her muscles deteriorated to the point where now she is completely bed bound. This all happened in a period of 6 months. They wouldn’t allow her out of hospital due to her condition BUT being in hospital was what caused ‘some’ of it. Not all,
My fathers physiotherapy improved drastically because I was taking him places where he needed to get up and move about. If he sat in a regular chair it sometimes would take him 5 minutes trying to get up out of it but that all changed too so I ‘ve seen both sides of this coin up close and personal.
Stretching and keeping somewhat mobile can’t be stressed enough. That saying ‘use it or lose it’ sure rings true.
I admire your persistent determination to find ways to improve your health and sincerely hope you find some improvement somehow.
