I went to my blood pressure follow up yesterday. I did end up going out for lunch before. We went to this breakfast place but they serve lunch after 11. I knew Soph was going to get a buffalo chicken wrap with no tomato and ranch instead of blue cheese and I wanted a wrap but I wanted it how it came. I decided to just order the same way as her just so they didn't mess hers up(hers is always getting messed up) and I figured it would be harder to mess both up. They also have fun ice coffee and I usually get a milky way one. I got a 32oz one and brought most of it home with me. I got to my appointment and they are running late which was fine. The nurse brings me into the room and takes my blood pressure and says 162/90. I'm in a panic as she puts the little thing on my finger and says the doctor will be a few minutes. I jump down and grab my phone thinking I heard her wrong and it's 126. At the same time I'm questioning why they didn't bring in the portable machine with the bigger cuff that we know and is in my chart. The doctor comes in and says she's going to retake it as she's putting the cuff on my arm I question where the portable machine is. And she realizes the cuff is in fact too small. I should have said something the first time but I was in a panic. So they bring in this machine that counts down 5 minutes and then it takes your blood pressure twice. They had tried a similar machine the last time I was in but it took your blood pressure three times and it didn't save the results. So when they brought the machine and I realized it was new and upgraded and was like cool. So the new machine goes off and it never really deflated after the first read. And at this point my arm is killing me and the nurse walks in and it didn't save any of the information. The nurse asked if I was ok to use the machine again but she'd do it so it would just take the b.p without the count down and all of that. She takes it three times and at this point my hand is bright red and I am in pain. I look at the nurse and say if you need another read I need a break. So she switches arms to do the last one on the other side. Anyways, long story long the average of those reads was like 109. So then the doctor comes back and then she says well. I guess from now on we have to use that machine. And I said we've already been doing that for the past year and a half maybe even 2 years. But they only have one of these machines. So if somebody else needs it and it's in the room with them, you're out of luck. Which I'm personally fine waiting but obviously it messes up with the schedule. But I'm also willing to sit in the room for an extra 15 minutes early if it means I can use the machine I need. They have more than enough rooms so it's not like I would be taking up a room that somebody else would need. It's funny at the rheumatologist they bring the bigger cuff in with me. I have it in their hand when they call me from the waiting room. I don't have to go back now until my physical in April and she's going to attempt my pap. I wasn't thrilled with the NP I saw at the obgyn office she still had me laying back feet up as she was talking to me after the failed pap and when I brought up my primary talking about doing it while under anesthesia she told me they don't do that even though my primary has patients they do it for. But really the still have me laying while she was still sitting talking to me was just not something I loved and I felt very uncomfortable. My primary did say she was surprised they gave me the NP when she sent over my referral asking for a certain doctor. So fingers crossed this works or I honestly don't know what to do.

Soo...I have a surgery on my finger tomorrow and I'm LEGIT a patient staying overnight in a hospital...I never knew I'd ACTUALLY have this happen to me...

Hope it all goes well (it probably will for sure!) But ofc I'm still gonna be worried but I have faith in our hospital and their techniques!! So glad I have Efanin with me...she helps it be so cozy and I can control the lighting and hear the tv through the cool remote and it feels like a medical hotel..😅

But I'll prolly sleep soon when the nurse brings me a pill to help my nervousness for tomorrow. Itll help me sleep and I'll be back home tomorrow!

Gnight to everyone, from a real hospital sleeper Ember!😷❤

Remember, try to not get misdiagnosed by your doctor so bad you get sent to the ER where they find nothing wrong with you!

It does not help out with anxiety and may even make it worse

it’s the - ‘all you can do for the pain is advil’

and then the - ‘how many advil do you take??? that’s unacceptable’

like … it’s not making sense but okay

I have so little hope for this new med :( I have severe brain fog on Lamictal and, after sticking it out for as long as I could, it just isn't something I'm willing to tolerate anymore despite how well it does work for me.

The medication I am trying next is generic topamax and I am *not* hopeful with how everyone talks about it. I don't know how likely I am to be the exception.

I know that everyone processes meds differently, and I know that horror stories about negative side effects are inevitably going to be easy to find and bury positive stories because people are biased towards talking about negative experiences, but have no draw to talking about positive ones bc they just go about their life happy that it works.

I know all these things. Yet it is still scary to take a med nicknamed Dopamax. I have seen another med with a nickname like this - Side Effexor - cause everything ppl talk about and more in someone close to me.

I want a medication that helps enough that I feel more stable without sacrificing anything else. I wish that was easier to find. I am terrified at this point that maybe that isn't possible.

Edit: Oops the POTS was causing the brain fog I think praise Lamictal

Thinking about my Dr. Fluffster character so, have another snippet I wrote for him;

“He seems so…afraid of me. How can I help him relax around me,” Dr. Fluffster wondered. He looked around, noticing his jar of fake vampire teeth placed on his desk for Halloween, smiling.

“Hello?” his patient asked as they came in. Only for him to turn around, pink vampire teeth in his mouth and give them a playful rawr.

There were tears in their eyes as they couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you doing?”

My dad told my mom he was depressed this morning and asked her to call the doctor. I'm not sure anyone would remember the time he was trying to do something 10 years ago but I always have it in the back of my mind. I'm always waiting to find him. January is a tough month and I will now be even more anxious for the foreseeable future.
