Journal Entry for October 2, 2008 Mood
Thursday, October 2, 2008

Hi Friends,

 

Specialist checked bp standing ( 120 / ? ) then lying ( 100 / ? ) then standing again ( 125 / ? ). He said it should rise on lying - don't know what this means.

 

Going to the CFS clinic on Tuesday. Some friends offered to take me.

 

U/sound of thyriod showed lumps. I am not worried as I have benign lumps through out my body. Will follow-up with drs soon.

 

Love and hugs

Thoughts and prayers Kiss

    Hi Margaret
    your BP measures mean as you stand up your pr drops , the fancy name is postural ( from posture ) hypotension , what it really means is you may be prone to fainting attacks / feeling lightheaded when you stand up suddenly or get out of bed quickly !
    I am very annoyed that drs are putting things on your mental state when they do not know what is wrong ! It is like adding insult to the injury ! do not accept it and take a friend with you when you see them and argue your points ! I think you are very intelligent and have the mental tenacity to challenge what they are saying ! If you got time , send me a synopsis of your symtoms + test results + treatments with time period in a message . I will do some searches for you !
    Mega hugs to you ...........Have a wonderful day !
    Monica
