After my visit ot hte doctor this morning I have to reduce my dosage of ramipril by 50% the doctor thinks this drug is causung my blood pressure to drop very low so low I keel over sometimes gettig up from a sitting postition, he is also concerened the blood tests indicate the drug is having an adverse reaction to my kidney/s nice to know.
As far as the diabetes is concerned he was very happy in fact it is the lowest it has been for over 2 years it is now 7.1 from 8.4 5 months ago.
I filled in the questionnaire about depression but he seemed to think I was ok and it was just my general condition that was making me feel a bit low thought this was a get out myself, some days I feel very very low in fact the pit I dig for myself is very deep and you need a helping ladder to get out of it.
So all in all some good news and some bad news the swelling pain in my shoulders and feet whicj incapacitated me for 4 days this week is down to arthritus.
I am going for phsiotheoropy on my shoulder soon sorry about spelling mistakes my excuse is it is all down to the drugs not the lack of eduction I had in hte 60s we all have our crosses to bear as mom would tell me, and mom should know she loved nailing me to my own cross day after day, boy oh boy do I carry a lot of baggage with me, have a lot of McCains chips on my shoulders.
The doctor said I have to have more blood tests to see if I have gout so cutting out the pheasant and port from today.
