So....Went to the doctor's for an annual physical on Wednesday. Come to find out, the epsom salt/ aloe rub that I had been using to reduce my knee pain, after a couple of months, made my feet and ankles swell up and sent my blood pressure through the roof! I stopped using it on Wednesday and the resultant weight loss has all been related to that change - blood pressure came down into my regular/NORMAL range,too - I'm sad, though, because for the first time in many years, I wasn't in pain - Follow up is scheduled for 5 weeks, so we'll see if I can use the rub, but maybe not so much of it so often - I really prefer not to have to take a lot of medications...
