Hi there,
I'm starting to feel like I'm walking into an episode of Cheers whenever I go to the doc now....'everybody knows my name'. LOL Used to be I went once or twice a year.
Anyway, just wanted you fine ladies to know that I took your advice when I went to my GP yesterday. He concurred with the therapist on the Paxil increase. I asked about low dose birth control, he didn't seem to think it would make a heck of a lot of difference with my 'numbers', said it wouldn't hurt to try....may take a couple of months to see any results. He gave me lo-ovral and I will start it this weekend.
My temp was normal for once. My BP has come down some so I at least may be able to reduce/go off that med soon. At least the exercise is paying off in that respect. :bouncing:
Molly, I picked up the Magnesium yesterday. I also picked up Valerian, an herbal remedy for 'restful sleep'. I didn't take that yet though, since i started the new Paxil dose last night. I'm going to post in a separate thread to see if anyone else has experience w/ Valerian.
Take Care, Sisters! :)
