This has been going on for over 6 months. My XXXXXXX blood results were elevated and the October results were more elevated. I am also having trouble with dizziness and loss of balance. I take Crestor (to reduce cholesterol), Bystolic (to reduce blood pressure) and high dose of Testosterone supplement - Androgel. I used to get headaches daily but have not had that problem for over 6 months. At the time I was taking 6-12 aspirin a daybed received a cortisone shot in the neck and has virtually eliminated headaches. I also have kidney disease which is being monitored by a specialist.
