Dont want to beat a dead horse but figured this was as good a place as any to post this. I have been on Lotrel for AGES for my high blood pressure. I just noticed after reading through this post, then doing a search for Lotrel and DILE that there is a warning about taking Lotrel if you have Lupus. I am wondering if my long term use, a LOT of unprotected sun exposure last summer, then taking handfuls of Advil in December along with an antibiotic for Sinusitus has led to DILE. I think I will ask my PCP to put me on something else - although with all the weight I have lost in the last four months and my steady use of my Respirate - bio-feedback thing for reducing blood pressure - my BP is doing quite well so I may be able to go off BP meds completely (fingers crossed).
Will also discuss with my Rheumy on Friday. Should be an interesting discussion. Will keep you all posted.
Cheers,
dave
