What's going on...

Well y'all, I tried taking myself off the blood pressure meds (my doctor instructed me to) because my BP was getting really low about 3:00 in the afternoon. I didn't take a pill on Friday, and I was soooo happy because my BP stayed at just normal levels. I felt good, didn't have to take a nap in the middle of the day, didn't feel nauseous or sick. Yesterday I was talking to my mother-in-law who is a nurse, and telling her about how my numbers were so good on Friday, and she said that's great, but be sure to keep an eye on them because the meds stay in your system for about 48 hours, so it could just be the meds aren't gone yet. Well, yesterday about 10:00 I started having a headache really bad and feeling like I was gonna throw up. I went and took my blood pressure, and sure enough it was high again. So I had to take the meds, which then dropped it way too low. It was so disappointing, I actually thought maybe I was getting over this. :( I really just wanted to cry and pitch a little fit but number one what will that accomplish, and number two that would only make things worse. It was just disappointing. Tuesday I see a doctor about the meds, and hopefully he can figure out a way to keep my pressures steady instead of this up and down. If you would all just continue to pray for me I'd really appreciate it. Jakob is getting big, and round. We are having some tummy issues right now, I'm trying to figure out what's causing them. Right now Mylicon is my best friend. I'll try to put up some new pics soon. Gotta go get ready for church. Love you all. -Me
