...I couldn't come up with a clever title.
Things move forward. Still struggling with balancing the meds. I have to go on Monday to see if we're adding more medications to the pile. I'm beginning to get anxious about all of the money I'm spending on them. Most of them are $5, thanks to the excellent medical plan at IKEA, but it's still a lot. I worry once the flex spending card runs out for the year, how I'm going to afford all of them. My jerkbrain is telling me I'm taking money from my family, and not worth all the fuss. I'm trying to tell it to shut up.
I'm currently dealing with a new blood pressure med, lisinopril. It's doing the job, and making me dizzy as hell every time I get up quickly. It was needed, because my bp was high, but I'm so used to high that normal is rough on my body.
Aside from the dizziness, we had a nice weekend. Had sushi, which I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do because of the carbs, but my doctor okayed it once or twice a month. It didn't even screw up my sugar. Stayed pretty consistent.
Then yesterday, I promptly forgot to take morning meds and wondered why my blood glucose was so high... D'oh. Some days, I think I just need a minder.
