This is a happy day. His recent CT scan showed that there are no ischemic issues in his brain, the blood flow is all good. The test results did say that he has some mild calcified plaque in the proximal right internal carotid artery without hemodynamically significant stenosis. Maybe getting off off of the warfarin will actually help with that, as it increases calcification. The doc said he's doing well enough that he doesn't need the warfarin any more. He recommended aspirin.
When he had the MRI done in July, it showed minor ischemic changes, but I'm thinking that getting off the zetia helped enormously, as the zetia is known to actually thicken blood vessel walls. Ain't it grand?
Now he's down to just 2 blood pressure meds, and prescription niacin for cholesterol. We had one BP med (procardia) reduced by 25% a few weeks ago, and that was a major improvement too. The warfarin is also known to cause fatique, so I hope thus helps give him a leg up yet a gain with getting past fatigue, because he seems to have been having problems with working
full time.
He's continuing with the 3 grams of vitamin C and etc., and seems to finally be becoming open minded about Orthomolecular medicine. He's also taking lots of blood thinning supplements. More vitamin E would still be good.
