We have all wondered why Bill got so clogged so quickly, as he was just checked in December. Today we might have discovered a clue. When Bill started Peritoneal Dialysis, he had a lot of trouble with his back. He went to an orthopedic doctor who prescribed heavy doses of Aleve. He started taking it. We talked to our internist about this, and he felt more comfortable with a lower dose. So he has been taking four per day for about three months. This helped his back quite a bit. We thought we were safe with it.
Well today I chatted with our cardiologist about heavy doses of Aleve for MM's current pain from the CPR. He said he would prefer that he not take ANY as it would make his arteries worse. This is exacerbated for Bill more than others, because of his lack of kidney function, but never the less, GOOD TO KNOW, and worth sharing. I am sure that I share more medical explanations than some care to hear, but I think it is good to share the things we learn. If it helps even one, it is great. This could explain why he got so clogged so fast!
