blood pressure | Arthritis Information

Some of you expressed concern when I said my blood pressure was 144/98. It has been gradually going down the last week and was in normal range today and yesterday. I don't know why, but I'm glad. My imuran was increased from 100 mg to 150mg at that time. Maybe that has somehow helped. The last couple of days I have been feeling somewhat better. I am so excited to finally have some improvement after a full year of getting worse.

Laker, If you have less pain your BP will reflect that.  Pain contributes to an elevated BP.  Am very happy that you're feeling better.  Enjoy.Great that you're feeling an improvement Laker.  Long may it continue!! That is great that you are getting better!!!  I agree that it could have been the pain is why your B/P was kinda high.  High doses of fish oil can help RA and they have the added bonus of
thinning the blood a bit so it also can aid high blood pressure. Please use oil
made from the body of the fish. Oil made from the liver has too much
vitamin A in it.

Laker,

I'm so glad your BP is normal and you are feeling better!  Thanks for keeping us updated.
