I would not reject, out of hand, advice given here. Forum members, especially in the 50+ sub-forum, have accumulated a great deal experience. That includes medical issues.

I would listen to whst others have to say, do my own research, then discuss it with my doctors. Doctors are not infallible, my original cardiologist gave me some bad advice and put me on medication that may have contributed to my subdural hematoma.

As with all things in life, there is a lot of informstion out there: some good and some crap.
