Well I even liked the weigh in on the dr. scales...LOL


My scale wearing what I had on was 255 this morning the dr scale was 253.8 so it is a little over a lb different......LOL I guess that means weighing on his scale as I would at home I would be 250.6!! LMAO


okay so here is the run down.....I am having some pretty bad muscle spasms in the right side of my neck, this is pinching a nerve, causing great pain in my right shoulder and arm and tingling also. This started yesterday.......not what I was going in for but hey. This being said, discussing the whole migraine issues, he says the muscle spasms may be causing the migraines or the migraines could be causing the muscle spasms. SO that combined with my telling him my BP has been up for a few months now (of course it was perfect at his office.....LMAO) he did give me a medicine that is a preventative for migraines and also treats HBP all in one. He said to treat HPB with it you take a higer dose but he is going to put me on the lower dose used to treat migraines and any benefits for BP would just be a bonus. At this time rather than diagnosing me with HPB he would rather continue to monitor it and go from there. He would not put me on the med my friend is taking cuz he said it is a direct contraindication with asthma and as bad as my asthma is he would never risk it. It is more effective but not so much so to risk my asthma so he gave me another kind that is more friendly. LOL He also put me on anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers for ths spasms with the understanding that I can only take the muscle relaxers in the evening versus the normal 3 x a day you are supposed to take them. Unfortunately they make me too sleepy to take during the day. SO I continue doing what I have been doing with the exception of the meds for my migraines. I also have an antibiotic for the congestion and crud as he said he already knew with me it would turn into an infection as my lungs are so susceptable to them.

Sending anti-spasm headache vibes your way. Hope the meds do the trick and that you'll be good as new within the next 2 weeks! Wish I could find a doctor's scale that was lighter than mine!!!!!!LOL!
