■ Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - When
is it time to switch doctors? I
am taking six pills daily for
high blood pressure. About six
years ago, when my blood
pressure was 150 over 95, he
put me on one pill daily. That
was all, for three years.
I gained some weight, about
10 pounds, and my pressure
increased. Since then he has
been steadily changing and
increasing my medicine. Now
I am taking Apresoline,
Lopressor and hydrochlorothi-
azide.
My pressure varies a lot.
Whenever it gets over 145
over 90, he’s not pleased.
Well, I’m not pleased to be
taking six pills a day either.
After my last test, he said
my potassium was down, and
he’s thinking of adding potas-
sium. I remember reading in
your column that low potassi-
um could be from medicines
draining your system.
DEAR READER - You
had better keep that doctor. It
At Wit's End k
\
By Erma Bom beck
It’s funny what a difference a few years will make
in your attitude toward children.
There was a time when I took a piece of cardboard
from my husband’s shirts, ran a string through it, and
hung it around my son’s neck. It read, “PLEASE DO
NOT FEED.”
He was like a disposer in Keds — going up and down
the street with his mouth open. He made garbage
trucks ah endangered species in our neighborhood.
What I wouldn’t give to have anyone feed him today
— cookies, candies, ice cream — anything to take the
edge off his appetite and ruin his meals.
And remember “Talk tome”?
I couldn’t wait until the kid began to talk. I’d sit in
front of him and be so anxious to have anything come
out of his mouth, I was interpreting the bubbles.
Through adolescence and teenage years I was
always pleading, “Talk to me. I’m your mother.” You
know when he began to talk. When he moved to LA
and the daytime rates were 48 cents for the first
minute and 33 cents for each additional minute plus
tax. We spent $4.53 last week just to hear him relate
how his white sweater shrunk in the soak cycle.
I could bite my tongue when I think back on it, but
there actually was a period in my life when I told my
daughter, “Get out of those good clothes before you
ruin them and get into something grubby to play.”
What I wouldn’t give today to see if she still has
legs.
It’s painful to remember, but there was a period of
years when I lived by the slogan, “You can drive a
child to water — but you can’t make him wash.” I
wish I had a nickel for every time I personally turned
on the shower, filled the tub, measured out the
shampoo and physically threatened to do harm to
their bodies if they did not avail themselves of soap
and water.
That was before the Herbal Connection. Today,
bathing among teenagers is a religion. The hot water
tank is a shrine and fat hair is the ultimate.
Possibly the greatest discrepancy you note is the
attitude of grandparents. When the children are
babies they stand in line to sit with them. This tapers
off at about 18 months when it is discovered they have
openings in every part of their body that need at-
tention.
I heard a grandmother say the other day, “I
wouldn’t supervise my teenage grandchildren for
anything in the world. Who am I kidding? The
National Guard wouldn’t sit with them.”
I guess the moral of the story is, “Enjoy it — before
you know what you’re doing.”

sounds as if he is interested in
helping you, so count your
blessings.
Your story is a good exam-
ple of what weight gain does,
to blood pressure. It has been
well demonstrated that many
people with high blood pres-
sure can decrease the amount
of medicine they take if they
lose weight. So, if you cut
down on calories, maybe you
will be able to cut down on
pills.
Get rid of every extra
pound of fat you possibly can
and start a walking program
to help improve your physi-
cal-activity level. If you
smoke, stop. If you use coffee,
tea or colas, stop those habits,
too.
As discussed in The Health
Letter number 15-8, Your
Vital Blood Pressure, which I
am sending you, it is impor-
tant to treat mildly elevated
blood pressure. We accept 145
over 90 as normal, but people
who have pressure of 115 over
75 are less likely to have
strokes, heart attacks and
other medical problems.
You are lucky to be taking
only six pills. You may be
able to avoid taking potassi-
um by including enough fruit
and fruit juices in your diet,
but try to get rid of those
extra pounds.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am
an 11-year-old girl, and I have
a bump under my knee cap.
My mother took me to a doc-
tor about it, and he said it’s
because I’m too active and hit
it on something. He said I had
to stop being so active.
My mother asked if I would
ever get better, because even
if I kneel down it hurts so bad.
The doctor said I would
always have the bump but
when I stopped growing the
bone would harden and it
wouldn’t hurt anymore. He
said all he could do now was
to put it in a cast to stop my
being so active.
My mother didn't think that
was a good idea. What do you
think?
DEAR READER - You
must be describing Osgood
Schlatter’s disease that occurs
in adolescence. The most
accepted view is that it is a
minor injury in which the
kneecap tendon inserts into
the top of the shinbone. This
area is not calcified at that
age and the strong pull when
the knee is straightened
induces the injury. That is
why the doctor said you
should be less active.
Some doctors believe in
casts. Others just suggest res-
tricting activity, particularly
that involving straightening
the knee as in knee bends,
football, going up stairs.
Avoid any knee-bend type of
activity. Most knees do heal in
time, near the end of the
growth phase, with the calcifi-
cation of the bone area.
