Absolutely OT...

Does anyone here, being the FOAK so far, have any experience or, more
importantly, suffered with, or know someone who has suffered with
Idiopathic Angiodema?

It's a very long shot, I know, but I'm trying to find out as much as I
can about the condition without spending ages for a web-page to attempt
to load...

3 members of my family, including me, have suffered this fucking thing[0].

All as a side effect of ACE[1] inhibitors prescribed for high blood
pressure.

Cunting NICE recommendations opined that the beta blockers I was taking are
BAD, very BAD. Take these ACE thingies. They are lovely. Bollocks.

For me, the expereience was: I have these symptoms since you prescribed
these quack medicines. Give me something else. Job done.

However: prior to this, some silly fucker decided to put my mother on the
ACE inhibitor programme of making people feel ill. Mum has vascular
dementia. She does not report symptoms until they are really bad. So, you
have to deal with the severe symptoms, which take months to heal and deal
with a concomitant change of medicinal routine. Wonderous.

possibly affected the google response)


[0] primary symptom seemed to be a swelling of tissue in the throat,
followed by a soarness. Very difficult to diagnose, as it seems to be
little different to a common infection.

[1] oh, the irony.

 

Oh ye of little faith.
Wessie was right there waiting to help.

 

There's a bit of a thread going on abut the wonderful people at NICE. You
should join in.

At least you got switched to something else. Not everyone does.

Isn't it just?
