I am feeling pretty good today. I have been feeling so much better in the mornings the last few days. It could be the baths or the fact that my beta blocker was decreased a week ago. The beta blocker while reducing my heart rate, which is a good thing, also decreases my blood pressure, which is a bad thing.
Today my blood pressure remains above 100. In the past when we have tried to decrease my beta blocker, the high heart rate and irregular heart beats and cp would force us to resume the bid dosing, but so far I have only had a few episodes which only last for a couple of minutes. So, if I don't need to increase my medicine I won't.
We are going to town today to buy groceries. Shopping is probably the hardest activity for me. We will see how I do. I usually am forced to ride in the wheel chair, especially at Walmart. I totally hate being in the w/c. (People always look at my legs and feet to see what's wrong). Standing is just so fatiguing, and you tend to do a lot of that when shopping. We will see.
I am going to finally get my pictures developed from my trip back home to Illinois in July. If they are any good I will scan them in and put them in an album on the main page. Yes, it's true, I am still fluctuating between digital and 35mm. They both have pro's and con's....
I slept well last night!!!!
I'm still waiting for another shipment from a vitamin company. I subscribe to a fatigue newsletter on-line and they suggested something called 5-HTP to help combat fatigue. So, I am anxious to try it as it is also supposed to improve your quality of sleep as well.
Well, it's off to town!
