I am glad they are looking for other causes -because quite likely there is something else. but I will say for those of us that shot up to the stratosphere with the bp - the medication worked pretty quickly.

No, Allyson, you're not my science project...it's like Burrell said. Missed chances, felt bad later.

Was it here that someone mentioned Mariah Carey and Chistmas music, this earworming me with "All I want for Christmas is youuuuuuuu [jingle, jingle]"?

Damn youuuuuuuu, whoever you were.

That was me, over in the Music thread, rejoicing that at least I got the earworm of "Da Butt" out of my head.

Hey, shrift, unless your BP has maxed 200+, I win!

Oh, wait, it's not a competition.

::raises hand for Allyson::

I didn't get to sleep in my car, which was a shame, since I have a demo to give at 2. I did buy myself my Xmas/birthday gift, though, so that's something.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate being dependent on meds (more for the "have to remember to take it, and take it with x, y and z" then being on the meds themselves)? Because I do.

The fact that I am takeing 9 doses of medication a day ( between diabetes, hbp, and allergies/asthma) pisses me off to no end. I am at the pharmacy once a week. I always( meaning at least once a week) forget the night time ones until After I have gone to bed. But at the same time, I am really glad they exsist, or I would be living a much diminshed and shortere life.

yay connie beat me! mine was only 190+!

You guys need to give me some of your blood pressure. When I was last at the ER, I was 128/72, which is way high for me. A few days later it was back down to a more reasonable 100/62.

Missed chances, felt bad later.

I'm sure the universe will drop me an anvil if I'm meant to make an ass out of myself. It's the way of it.

I think a hottie in the nerd preserve is as good an anvil as any, and better than some.
