(not necessarily in that order)
There are times when an appropriate medication is the only way to go.
Today I’m feeling extremely grateful for the Rx that seems to have finally ended my recent malady. I’ve had my first completely “normal” day in almost a week; what a relief!
I’ll still follow the doctor’s recommendation to get some bloodwork done, mainly as a precautionary measure. But my energy is back and I feel confident that I’ve turned the corner.
It’s official! As of this morning, I no longer take blood pressure medication. Whoohoo!
In fact, I had already cut way back about a month ago, and then stopped altogether two weeks ago. I did so because I was feeling tired and lethargic over a period of time when I was eating well and getting plenty of sleep, but my numbers were getting lower and lower.
I felt okay about experimenting a bit because I was in the habit of checking my BP every day, plus I already had an appointment to see my doctor.
So, this feels like the biggest win ever and I’m extremely grateful for the lifestyle changes that have allowed me to achieve it.
