After about 6 weeks my knees locked up and I could barely move from chair to bed.<br /><br />I started researching my 6 medications on the internet for side effects, discovered the problem was this new drug, and I cut my dosage by half until I go back to see him next month.<br /><br />I'm back able to move around again now but I'm hoping the doctor will be able to come up with a solution that won't break me financially.<br /> <br />Keep taking that hydrochlorothiazide. I've never had any side effects from it and, at least here in the States, it's not any more expensive than aspirin.screwtape_iiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178226306265705193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453144948877840344.post-12029146857087645022011-09-21T10:26:18.536+10:002011-09-21T10:26:18.536+10:00Welcome to the world of the aged.
