Dredded Gumboo

Well. I have been sick with an awful intestinal something. I stayed home today. I lost 8# from noon yesterday until noon today! I definitely have less water in my system. I went to the Dr. today and my blood pressure was 110/70 definitely not high blood pressure, but probably a little dehydrated. I guess I will survive, I had a fever of 101%

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. You do have good blood pressure! When I was on Fen-phen mine sometimes got to 80/50. It;s like being in a coma. High blood pressure has never been a problem for me, or for you either it eounds like.

Oh dear! If it was like what I had a couple of weeks ago, you are in for a ride! I am not lucky like the rest of you are, mine can be up to 110/90.

I am being treated for high blood pressure already. I only have to take a diuretic, But it is working. I think the Dr. panicked last year when it read 160/80, So I was put on the medicine. I told him that I had never had hbp but he wasn't convinced. I think it was high because I was in excruciating pain in my knees and legs from arthritis in my knees, At that time I was in such pain that I couldn't even bend my knee. It was like I had a board for a leg instead of a knee. The first Dr. took ex-rays , Discovered arthritis, told me to take Tylenol and loose weight. (You know. the knee jerk reaction to people larger than the "established" "normal" weight. I have just last month convinced the Dr, that Tylenol does
NOT work on me and that the only thing that works is Aspirin, which I started taking again instead of Tylenol because it T--) is worthless as a pain reliever on me. I was finally prescribed a pain reliever that works, but I still like Aspirin best. Especially Alka Seltzer.Love it, Love it.
