Donald:

Move over, let me in your boat too.

Same problems. I take more pills each day than come in a bag of M&Ms. BP was 215 over 110 for two years and no MD knew what was wrong with me. I do not know which meds can be taken with centrals but I do know I'n getting better, very slowly. Now down to 140 over 78 and hope to do better than that.

I have been trached and now sleep on a vent with a low dose of oxygen. Under this treatment I am apnea free and usually hit rem and have dreams almost every night. During a tornado a few months back we had no electricity and I could not take all the centrals that hit me for a few days. I can now walk about 100 yards even though I huff and puff to do it but I do not use my wheelchair as much as before.

My meds do tear me up but it would be much worse without them. Please post here if you find out which meds are not compatible with centrals.

Take care.

Phil
