Update - Still Kickin' - Protein still Low But Stable

I know it has been a while since I checked in.  Sorry about that.  I have been blogging; getting a little political, and it has taken up much of my time.

That said, I'm taking tome out from political blogging to write this post informing you of my progress and a medication change that was made.

I'm taking Spironalactone (not sure on the spelling I don't have the bottle in front of me).  The medication's stated use is 'a water pill'.  It's adiuretic.  I suppose it does help me to urinate, but the major impact of this drug seems to be how it helped to increase my protein.

Since beginning this drug, I've been able to live my life without frequent hospitalizations.

I foret the dosage, but I'd been taking 1 pill once per day for a long time.  At my doctor appointment, I was told to try increasing my Spironalactone dose by 1/2 a pill.

With just one pill, my albumin has risen from .8 to 19.  My total protein went from 1.1 to about 3.2.
We hope the increased dose will improve my condition even more.

This sounds really good.  I do have my reservations though.  Is it really the spironalactone that's helping me?  I'm not sure.

I started exercising lately.  I've been working my staff most of the summer, but over the past week I've been doing puss-ups and pull-ups.  I cut the grass one day last week and will probably cut it tomorrow, as well.

The point is, when I get enough sleep, I seem to have more energy to do productive things.

Thanks for reading my posts.  God Bless.
