update

When I reduced my dose of Eplerenone to zero my mind became clearer and my body stopped hurting. My son (who has a BS in Nursing from a California university) said that you can't go Cold turkey (go immediately off a medicine like this without problems) so I halfed the dose after talking to him. I realized though I couldn't take eplerenone because I was having too many bad side affects and decided instead to go back to a 1/2 dose of Spironolactone which I never had trouble taking (I had no side affects and had no pain or inflammation of any kind). However, since it sort of ends being intimate with your wife for a man (at least being interested in that kind of thing at all) I thought maybe a 1/2 dose of that might work. This is all still a work in progress. I'd really rather not be taking anything but realize I don't want to scare my wife into thinking I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack because of not taking some kind of diuretic to prevent edema physically completely (while taking that at type of diuretic at least). So, like I said all this is still a work in progress.

There are always risks in life in trying to stay alive with a quality life. For example, I won't take coreg because it makes me crazy and I feel completely mentally out of control when I take it even though people tell me it might increase my lifespan. What is the point of taking Coreg if I'm so nuts that I harm someone while taking it?(By the way I have never met a single person that likes taking Coreg ever).

It's things like this that everyone has to choose all the time at a certain point. So, I always choose quality of life over craziness and mayhem at this point. Because without quality of life why choose to be alive at all?
