I too used to live on Lean Cuisine and frozen meals..now I have to prepare..but being lazy I eat a lot of yogurt, cereals and lots of fruit.
I have eaten at McDonald's many times and have had no problem. Their cheese is processed, so it's OK.
I'll continue altering my dietary lifestyle in the hopes that my recent increase in Parnate will help.
There's a good beef tortellini and ravioli out there that has no cheese in it...I just use a spicy salad dressing as I tend to get sick of tomato sauces. I did run across some frozen dinners recently that did not have any yeast crap in them. When I pick some up I'll post the name of them.
You just have to keep looking...I was pretty excited to finally see a frozen meal I could nuke.
As for the BP monitor, I have one and was a little compulsive with it at first. I'm glad I have it as I did spend 3 hours in the ER. It didn't turn into a hypertensive crisis but my BP was high enough that they monitored it, plus hooked me up to an EKG. Now I only take it if I have a bad headache or feel light headed.
You have to think seriously whether you can handle the lifestyle changes that come with being on a MAOI. If giving up prepackaged food (and the yeast is in 99% of it), you may not be a good candidate for a trial on a MAOI.
