Treatment #9 – Nothing Exciting to Report - hmmm


Well the treatment went as it has the last 8 times. However, my blood pressure is way too high. I have never had a problem with high blood pressure, in fact last time I had it checked (April, May, or June) it was perfect, now not so much. When they checked it the day before my first treatment it was high, and is not getting better in fact perhaps worse….

It has been like 138, 140, and today 144 over 85 to 90something….

This would be the perfect Dan moment – we get the bipolar symptoms under control only to die shortly after of heart disease…. Ugh

I have been feeling strange, not really a headache but lots of pressure, and this evening it has gotten a little worse with an added bonus of feeling lightheaded. The room seems to spin a little, not too bad -much…. I will call my family doctor on Monday, to see if I can get in to see him before he retires.

My sister told me (via Facebook) today that our GP is retiring in August of this year. I have been going to him since the 80’s. In fact I have only had two family doctors in my whole life. The doctor that delivered me, and my current doctor…. wow

I am not a big fan of change……. The anxiety of it is stressful, debilitating and a bit painful.

The rTMS nurse and I were chatting yesterday, and it gave me a great idea for a terrible short film (very short, maybe very terrible J). If all goes well, and I can get my shit together I will write it and post it over the next couple of days.

I have to be at my pdoc’s tomorrow at 9am (he is super nicely going in on his day off to give me a treatment – how did I get so lucky), so I should try and get some sleep (ha ha ha)…

Anyway, sorry for the short post, I will try and do better tomorrow.

  1. Hmmph I was telling you specifically over FB, I was telling my FB world. I might have phoned you eventually - your child checks his FB too much. I think you should take away his phone. Re: the blood pressure thing that might explain some of your weird symptoms even though people say there aren't any symptoms I think there are. Whine til they get you in right away at the Doc.
