Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2007Glucosamine
Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? BP was normal in August. Then I started taking Glucosamine. Now it's high enough to hinder me having my knee replaced. Other factors might be having an effect too - I'm screwed up rigid at the moment, though I don't really know why. Thanks for listening, Cheers, Dave  SignatureDave Smith Wordsmith and yarnspinner, singer and storyteller In article <dave-3DA385.08510623092007@news.demon.co.uk>, Dave <dave@DavidOSmith.co.uk> scribeth thus >Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Dave I've tried it in the past, but after a month or so it brings my gout on quite bad, but can't say it affected the BP.

Did not stay on that very long. I take Atenolol syrup for BP. I am allergic to the E110 colour (sunset Yellow) in the tablets. Shirley SignatureShirley Shone shirley@allcrafts.demon.co.uk http://www.allcrafts.org.uk Thanks for the info, everybody. I get a BP check tomorrow, so we'll see how I'm getting on. Cheers for now, Dave SignatureDave Smith Wordsmith and yarnspinner, singer and storyteller > I take Atenolol syrup for BP. Yet another very helpful post I am on Atenolol tabs but not keen on them they tend to upset my guts I shall be asking my doc on Thursday about going on the syrup . >> I take Atenolol syrup for BP. > >Yet another very helpful post I am on Atenolol tabs >but not keen on them they tend to upset my guts I shall be asking my >doc on Thursday about going on the syrup . When I had the tablets I was crippled with pain in the stomach and more so when they put more colour on the tablets. The chemist tried to tell me they were the same. I had a sympathetic doctor who contacted the makers, and yes they had put more on. It is the E110 colour additive that causes the problem. It is put on dyed kippers, smoked mackerel etc. I cannot eat those only the genuine oaked smoked ones. The syrup is quite pleasant to taste and clear in colour. Somewhere I read that if you cannot tolerate dyed smoked foods that you may not be able to take aspirin. That is true in my case since all aspirin related drug makes me come out in a rash. Which makes it harder to control my arthritic pains. I had to stop taking Glucosemine because it inhibits production of insulin and I am type2 diabetic. Like wise I had to stop taking omega3 oils because that thins the blood and I take Clopidogrel after having 6 stents in my heart. It is a case of helping one thing and hindering another. Such is life. SignatureShirley Shone shirley@allcrafts.demon.co.uk http://www.allcrafts.org.uk >It is a case of helping one thing and hindering another. >Such is life. Isn't that he case with the drugs our GP's prescribe for us they all seem to cause has much trouble in other ways has what they are supposed to help if I took all that is prescribed for me I would be on my back in bed for most of the week. Over the years I have found my own ways of helping myself regarding various ailments that I suffer from not that my GP would approve if she knew though had I not seen your posting last night regarding Atenolol that was about to go on my banned list also :)))))))) . > >It is a case of helping one thing and hindering another. > >Such is life. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > supposed to help if I took all that is prescribed for me I would be on > my back in bed for most of the week. Ain't that the truth! I have a bad reaction to Naproxen and the one I can never name correctly (ludene or Lodine or?), both of which make me, well, stupid*. When I told this to my rheumy he said he could give me something to counteract that. I said, "No - take me off it and give me something else". And somehow I managed to avoid adding, "you muppet!". AF * = for the benefit of those who know me, yes I did mean 'even more stupid'. >Ain't that the truth!

Don't some of them make you want to say something like this Alan ? whenever I am prescribed anything new I am straight on the net and finding out about it before ever going anywhere near a chemist shop if I do not like what I am reading the script goes straight through the shredder . I count myself very lucky after going through six doctors in as many months I dropped on the one I have had since and she is the bees knees I have never had a GP that I have liked has much. She calls a spade a spade speaks with a good full Lancashire accent none of your plumb in the gob talk and no thinking she is better than I attitude either . We discus my treatment she does not tell me what to do or else sort of thing and we get on just great only problem I have with her she is popular it takes two weeks to get an appointment with her . >We discus my treatment she does not tell me what to do or else sort of >thing and we get on just great >only problem I have with her she is >popular it takes two weeks to get an appointment with her . I reckon thats a good sign;)) SignatureTony Sayer I am presently looking for a new doctor (GP) since the one I had been using for 7 years retired. I really liked him and two of his employees were real good friends of our family. I started out with one of his partners (before he retired), but he is now a resident advisor for the big hospital here and only sees patients 4 mornings a week. Takes at least 3 months to get an appointment and you have to go through so much rigamarole then that it just isn't worth it. Will see my cardiologist Monday and hope he will know some one to recommend. It is so hard to lose a good doctor! Gwen >>Ain't that the truth!

Its called "side effects" its a lot of things together i.e. how your body reacts to various ingredients of each drug etc. My chemist showed me all the things I could get from my blood pressure tablets, he said "pick your aliment"!. Still they keep my heart from being over stressed so thats the best effect:) Then of course use more than the one drug at a time and multiply that up!.. >Over the years I have found my own ways of helping myself regarding >various ailments that I suffer from not that my GP would approve if >she knew though had I not seen your posting last night regarding >Atenolol that was about to go on my banned list also :)))))))) . I reckon if it works and it works for you and its doing no real harm then its good medicine!. A tame helpful GP who will let you try and in fact encourage you to do that but advise and warn you of any ill effects is a GP worth having!.. SignatureTony Sayer >The syrup is quite pleasant to taste and clear in colour. Got the syrup yesterday all 600ml of it and so far so good no ill effects at all Shirley my GP said when I asked if it is done in a syrup you can have it no problem . >>The syrup is quite pleasant to taste and clear in colour. > >Got the syrup yesterday all 600ml of it and so far so good no ill >effects at all Shirley my GP said when I asked if it is done in a >syrup you can have it no problem . I have been taking the syrup for 4 years. Took the tablets for 17years before that when they were pale pink in colour. I hope it suits you too since it has not got a load of additives. Thanks for letting me know.

You will have guessed after what I have just said that I am a pop head not beer head:)))))). >I've tried it in the past, but after a month or so it brings my gout on >quite bad, Thanks for posting this Tony I was going to give it a go but would sooner have a bit of knee ache than yet another dose of gout. The only reference I can find on the net is if the glucosomine you are taking contains high sodium (some vitamin and supplements do unfortunately - not sure why??) I would suspect something else though. It wasn't a case of white coat syndrome with the surgery coming up was it?? Will be thinking of you and hoping it doesn't hold things up too long. kelly > Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dave > Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dave Hi Dave Apparently it is processed using salt, and I put "glucosamine and blood pressure" in on google - tje first reference mentions it. http://www.a1msm.co.uk/glucosamine-dosages.htm Jayne Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure?

Other factors might be having an effect too - I'm screwed up rigid at the moment, though I don't really know why. Thanks for listening, Cheers, Dave hi dave! you've received some good direct answers on this thread. another thing to consider is your pain level. uncontrolled pain also increases blood pressure. kate SignatureDave Smith Wordsmith and yarnspinner, singer and storyteller tagging on several answers you've already gotten of itself, all the major studies show no correlation - 'but - some preparations include [small amounts of] salt and 'that' can increase bp for those sensitive also, many take glu. with other supplements that 'can' increase bp, plus several of the nsaids are known to increase bp - add in that pain itself will cause a jump - and i suspect that a full review will show that you have one or more contributing factors not the glu. > Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Dave Smith > Wordsmith and yarnspinner, singer and storyteller > Anyone know if Glucosamine has an adverse effect on blood pressure? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks for listening, I have no idea if Glucosamine can affect you blood pressure. But I know for a fact than pain can raise it considerably. Jo
