hi all,
sorry i've been a bit 'out of it' with my postings, but my health hasn't been the greatest. which brings me to the topic of 'new' meds to try.
have any of you heard of/are taking a drug called Losartan or Cozaar? dr. jacqui hecht, the dr. in houston who isolated the CED gene emailed me last week and said that Losartan seems to be working well with connective-tissue disorders such as CED. i'm going to talk to my dr. about being put on this as a trial to see if it works for me. talk to your doctors, too! and if you're on this already or have tried it or ANYTHING, PLEASE share your experience with us! it sounds pretty promising. let's hope so!
more later,
patrick

Re: Losartan (Cozaar)
Thu, May 3, 2007 - 4:26 AMHi Patrick,
I have never heard of this drug, but will definitely ask my doctors about it.
I am currently taking Pregabalin (Lyrica) (100mg twice a day) and find that this provides some relief from my pains. The only drawback is that it makes me drowsy which is a bit of a pain during the day, but aids my sleep at night.
Take care and make sure you let us know how you get on!
