I worked from home today because I had finally made a Dr Appt for a Physical....I haven't been feeling great for such a long time - tired, can't sleep, crying, and heart palpitations. My Blood Pressure is high, and after taking a little quiz it looks like I am suffering from depression - so, now I have blood pressure meds, depression med's and medicine for the awful Migraine Headaches. The Dr did a EKG and it looked OK - but she did find that my Carotid Artery was not making the "swishing" noise its supposed to make. So I have to go and have a Ultra Sound to see if its full of crap! OH CRAP! I also went and had a Chest X-Ray to see if everything is OK. I am a smoker (I've quit many times) you would think after seeing my Dad go through so much because of smoking (he had clogged arteries and he also develped Aterial Scerosis) - he has lost both legs because of the disease that I would have quit smoking on the spot. I have tired the patches, gum, hypnosis, acupuncture and the magnets for the ear - nothing works for very long.... So if anybody knows how I can quit please let me know. so, all in all it looks like I am falling apart! Lets hope things get better!
