MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

 Mine tends to be low also. I have actually been asked if I was able to stand. Then told if any lower he would have to have me go to hospital.

I hope dr takes care of you bp . You dont want it high. take care and try not to feel stressed.

I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.

 I agree with everyone (I know you were breathlessly waiting to see what my opinion was ).

BP is dangerous when it stays high.

I use to have low pressure but when they started back in '87 to experiment on me with different meds my pressure went sky high!! I blamed it on a steriod they put me on called Predosone (sp). I gained weight very quickly, my face looked like I had cushings disease and developed high BP. I've lost some of the weight but my blood pressure would be sky high if I didn't have the meds. Ooops got to rambling again......sorry !

Well, there's my 2 cents worth and I'll keep the change, but if someone needs the change let me know !

 my BP runs high because I'm in pain, one doctor put me on medication, I'm the only one in my family who isn't on BP medication. I didn't do well on the medicine so my GP Doc took me off. I have been able to stay off so far. I am careful with my diet. My best to you.
