Wellness update

Filed under: Wellness Diary

I few weeks ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FMS). I was prescribed Effexor, which I did not take. I had some bloodwork done and last week I went to the dr to get my results. They all seemed normal except there was one that showed I have some inflammation. So The dr ordered up some more blood work. As he thinks I might have rheumatoid arthritis. I havent gotten the results on that yet.
This dr also prescribed hydrochlorothiazid to get my blood pressure under control. The high blood pressure was one of the reasons I have not taken Effexor for the FMS.
I am still taking b-12 vitamins and Omega 3-6-9 (fish oils), and I do think that it has already helped some. I have had more pain free time than usual, and when I do have pain it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. So maybe I am on to something good here (knock on wood).
I have had a few days with dizziness and nausea, but I think it is due to the blood pressure pills. But I am feeling better now.
Today I am going to the dr, just to have my blood pressure checked. He wants it down to about 120/80. Said that 120/86 would be ok too, cause it shows that the pills are working. So lets see how it goes.
On a happy note… I have lost about 8lbs. So I am almost down to where I would like to be weight wise.

  1. Find somebody near you who does Reiki. You can Google them, I’m sure..

    I’ve been teaching and practicing Reiki for about 11 years now, and have seen many, many genuine miracles..
