not feeling so good
My vision right now is blurred, I am tremendously tired and just feeling out of it. There is a feeling in my head that I struggle to describe, its like a pressure on my brain.. it always alarms because to me it feels like a stroke..of course I have no idea what a stroke feels like.
My leg hurts, for the past few days its been the right leg, pain seems to centre in the groin and emanate all the way thru the leg. Today its the left leg that's hurting. hmmm
I dont expect to be in pain or tired because I ahve been takeing it extremely easy, worked from home Thur/Fri which means most o the day was spent in bed with a laptop on my lap. Slept through Sat, Sun .. still tired....
Nearly got run off the road this morning, I'm driving along and I glance itno my mirror I see this green blur hurtling toward me. I swing to avoid it, which ..given I was on the highway and not moving slowly, means that I then go into the dance of trying to keep my car on the road. Hmph! Not at all amused.
Just got my blood pressure checked, it was an alarming 150/96. took my bp meds today so that was unexpected. 10 mins later it was a safer 127/84. My doctor is downstairs on my building so I'm wondering, can a simple walk to the elevator, and out to the side of my bulding send my blood pressure skyrocketing like that? This is sooo not good. Will monitor for the next few days, maybe that's why I feel so crappy.

what does your doc say about these symptoms? are they relatively new symptoms on top of other things you already have..........my b.p. often spikes at the doctor office because underneath my veneer of calm i am anxious, feel frustrated that i will leave knowing nothing more than when i walked in.......and wanting to let out a primal scream cause i feel like i\'m on fire and nobody does anything to put out the flames. it\'s not always easy to be calm and that is the reason for my b.p. craziness. and it can also signal higher levels of inflammation. your body is sick so resting and working less help but do not mean that we can\'t nosedive despite doing every thing in care of us. have a feeling your levels of inflammation are up.......and that makes you feel like you\'ve been runover by a street machine....one of those things that flattens a body into a cartoon character caricature ......... a very smooshy, non energetic wipe out for us with our conditions. yes, simple things can do that, but we can\'t take the symptoms for granted, we gotta tell the doc and have them run the labs that check to see if anything else is going on, if there is anything they can do in care of our symptoms. ............hang in there......hugs.nite!
I do have to go redo my tests this week..I suspect as oyu do that my inflammation is back up.. which by extension means I will need to repeat the treatment I underwent some months ago which was HELL! Procrastinating.. but I know I have to go deal with this..crap.
