I am sitting here trying to get up the energy to put my daily piles of meds together. I take them now at night and feel so much better. Winthrop is not listening to me. So I have adjusted my meds to what makes me feel so much better.
The problem starts with all my visits to the ER and overnight stays. Some doctor that has not really read my file, decides to add another BP med to my already large pile of them. "Well, one med isn't doing the job, lets add another stronger one and still keep her on what she is getting." This happens every time I go to the ER. So if I take them the way they are prescribed, I end up with my BP plummeting. All Winthrop did was move some of them around, not reduce the dosages. And no one is taking into account that these meds were prescribed when I was more than 20 lbs. heavier. I am a very small person. And when I go to Winthrop for my vitals to be read, my BP is always 120/60. Which is a very good reading for me. Sometimes the 60 is even lower. And that is the number that really counts. So I will make my own adjustments and feel so much better.
