As everyone says... SEE A DOC! And it may take a lot of trial and error. Then everything can change in another year or so. I tried over 20 different meds before I found a combination of two that worked over the long term. It seems that the ones that work best on me involve the kidney loop, which I've now forgotten what all that means.

I tried many other things too. I ran the minimarathon, ate lots of oatmeal, meditated, stuck to an extremely low salt diet for a year...nothing had lasting effects other than the right meds.

Losing weight seems to have the most effect!
