[Not that I expected it to be any different but,] After one day on the reduced dosage of Diovan there has been no change. All my joints were in discomfort; and my legs in particular were on the edge between extreme discomfort and painful. It woke me from sleep. Had to take five Tylenol to get it reduced enough to get back to sleep. Hopefully a second day on the reduced dosage will result in less pain.
Am finally sleeping better (overall). My brain just needed to process the news and deal with it at the subconscious level. Thank goodness it's done!
At this point I've pretty much let all my friends and family know what's going on. Nothing but support and comfort from everyone. Have even had four offers of kidney donation from various friends. What wonderful people to have in my life!
Good Health to All!

- I am an amateur historian who loves to study early US history and the founding of our Country. I also delve into Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Scandinavian and Mongolian histories, and occasionally dabble with Japanese and Chinese histories, as well as the archaeology of the pre-Columbian Americas. Besides history,I love to study Astronomy, Political Science, Medicine, and many other areas besides. Amongst my personal activities of interest are Hiking, Outdoor Photography, Golf, Baseball, and Writing.
