Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body. Primary polycythemia occurs when excess erythrocytes are produced as a result of a proliferative abnormality of the bone marrow. Secondary polycythemia is caused by increases of erythropoietin that result in an increased production of...
I've been on Glumetza now for a few weeks. I've been tolerating it just fine.
2 months ago or so I started YAZ, a birth control pill to try and regulate my periods so I'm not bleeding all the time, and all over the place.
Ever since starting that pill I complained of severe headaches and something was just not right. Even after several blood pressure checks, that turned out high, nobody did anything.
So I saw a new dr. She monitored me for weeks, and my blood pressure just got worse. So I'm at the end of my pill pack, and she orders me to stop. Its causing dangerously high blood pressure. Fine, whatever, I'll go back to bleeding all the time, and everywhere else. But now my ovaries or whatever else down there hurts so effin bad. Worse than pregnancy contractions. Hurts hurts hurts.
Although she ordered me off the pill, no action plan was made. Yes my blood pressure went down, but now what? So I canceled all my dr appts with everyone. They don't give a crap, niether do I.
I will wait out this cycle because I am not in a good mood at all and I am in pain. And nobody at work understands and I may lose my job.
Then maybe I'll try and find a good dr. I'm just starting to give up.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
he works at the clinic i go to, once a week for half the day. and because of conflict of interest, i can't be a patient at both offices. so i have requested a transfer to his office.
im awaiting a call back. im hoping they will take me today. the ER is useless in this situation. they will only give me pain meds and another dr referral.
so this is what i'm counting on. for my original diagnosing dr that i haven't seen in years, to see me. because he's also a specialist.
It seems like you are having such a bad day. I hope it will get better. Some times we do come into contact with those useless doctors that just don't care. I know today is not good bu try & hang in there.
