NOW you have gone too far! g Agreed. There WILL be pig in OSH, whether my BP is high, low, or in between. And real beer. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Absolutely. You can either live, or you are just waiting to die -- it's your choice. Passing on an OSH pig roast (with real beer) is tantamount to mounting a deathwatch, IMHO... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

And real beer.
Anyone looking for a definition of Jay's "real beer" or "good beer" comments...Google is your friend. :-) Long live the Jay Honeck, grand beer pooh-bah of Oshkosh (and assorted other locations I'm sure). :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student-Arrow Shopping Student "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

Well, I'm officially old. After watching my blood pressure slowly climb over the last three years (strangely, the years we've owned the hotel -- coincidence? :-), my doctor has decided that my ineffective weight loss efforts aren't going to do the trick. Here are the facts: BP is 155/85. Weight: 197. Height: 6'. Exercise: 30 minutes every day. Family has a history of strokes and high blood pressure. The good doctor says the elevated BP isn't being caused by my weight, which isn't too far out of line for a 46 year old guy. (Although losing 15 pounds would certainly help.) He has prescribed Vasotec for me, which *is* on the AOPA's list of FAA approved medications, thankfully. For those who have already been down this road, did this medication cause any side effects? The doc says the most common one is a nagging cough, for no known reason. Thanks! I had the same thing happen when I was 37 (I'm now 45). I started out on Vasotec also as best I recall. I think this is in the class called ACE inhibitors, right? I've taken a couple of different one's since then, mainly due to requests by my insurance company, and am now taking Atacand. I think most all of the ACE inhibitors are FAA approved and I've never had a side-effect attributed to the BP meds. I've always taken the smallest dose available and it has kept my BP under good control. Matt |

I think most all of the ACE inhibitors are FAA approved and I've never had a side-effect attributed to the BP meds. I've always taken the smallest dose available and it has kept my BP under good control. It was my AME that spotted my sugar problem. My primary physician put me on dyazide (diuretic) and later switched me to lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor that also helps with diabetes. I am on 5 mg per day but the AME said he starts patients on 40 mg! There have not been any ED problems. The AME was completely satisfied with my BG record that I bought in. I have a program that reads out the data from my BG meter and lets me plot it over a selected date range. I don't have full blown type-2 but am able to control blood glucose and blood pressure through diet and exercise (uggggh). Avoid white things: rice, bread, pasta. Avoid salt but it's almost impossible to get your calories and keep Na down to 1500 mg per day (recommendation by the ADA). I haven't had a beer in 2 years because of the starch in it. "Low carb beer" is an oxymoron anyway. However, alcohol does _lower_ blood glucose and blood pressure. It's just fattening. If anyone out there has an alternative to the treadmill and Nautilus machines, please let me know. Exercise is the most mindless activity I an imagine. A standard day involves 8 hour of sleep and 8 hours of work, leaving 8 hours for everything else including exercise. An hour of exercise wastes 12.5% of your "usable" life. As things stand, I can stop exercising but would have to take a diabetes-specific drug for the rest of my life. That would void my 3rd class Medical Certificate. |

I bought a good bicycle last summer and took several 25 mile rides in hilly country. It helped me lose 10 lbs. over the summer and is much more enjoyable than a stationary bike in a fitness center ... even with the TVs and head phones. I'd always had really cheap 10-12 speed road bikes before and they were a pain to ride. My new Fuji comfort style bike is pretty comfortable even for a 45 year-old body. I'm looking forward to the end of winter so I can get back on the road. Why do you say an hour of exercise wastes 12.5% of your usable life? If it lets you live 10 years longer, then you'll likely at least break even. :-) Matt |
