Hi Brent,
Well, electrolytes explains the foot cramps, I hadn't connected it with the eyesight. My husband had me drink some pickle juice for foot cramps, but it caused a huge fluid retention. In fact, I think that's what triggered the final attack of pericarditis. I had a cortozone shot in the shoulder in May that cleared up the pericarditis and helped the shoulder but didn't help with the range of motion. I just drank a bit of pickle juice, guess I'll see if it helps or hinders.

I agree about the journal and have tried to do it but haven't been too successful.
I've learned a lot here today and should have been studying for midterms. :(
