Major Seizure.
Usually fine in 24 hours, except the time I was hospitalized and nearly died in 2011 and 2015, both before I knew my neurologist and was on medicine. Since then, as I've posted, I've had some major seizures, but I'm usually okay in 24 hours or less.
High Blood Pressure.
Find out about it at an early age, take a pill, and deal with it. Today's reading was very low. I went to my neurologist and they took my BP. I forget the exact number, something like 112 over 73. Better low than high. Its been low for a while, probably because of an extra strong BP med my Drs have me on.
Migraines.
Extremely painful, but hopefully able to be managed. My neurologist put me on a new med to try today. Hopefully it will work better than previous meds.
My health Kryponite is.
A Colonoscopy.
Yikes!
Without getting into explicit details .
Let's just say that I've had an on and off problem for a while, where my Drs have been after me to go.
I've put it off, was supposed to go several months ago, and Covid delayed it again.
If the Dr who does it is open on Monday, something I will find out when I call him,. I have to go, without fail.
At the age I am now, some of my real life friends in their late 40s and early 50s, some have gone, others have not.
If the Dr for the procedure can see me, I have to go, like it or not.
I keep saying to myself.
Why the hell are you afraid of it?
You almost died of seizures twice, you have been in the hospital, unconscious, had one brain scan after the next. Why is this procedure that everyone over the age of 50 is supposed to have, scaring the crap out of you?
Simply put. I dont know.
I guess everyone has something in their health that they are afraid of.
My Drs have put it to me this way.
Confront your fear. Go, and hopefully all will be fine.
If something is found, they will take care of it.
The alternative, as someone said to me.
Don't go, delay it some more.
Maybe God Forbid get Colon Cancer, which can kill you.
The procedure itself I've heard is unpleasant.
The alternative, could be deadly.
I would like to live for a while longer.
I'm going to go.
Hopefully before Thanksgiving, or if not, the week after.
Sigh!
Hopefully the result will be okay.
If so, I don't think I have to go for five years, based on what I've heard from others.
Edit on Monday night: Going to Dr 11 am tomorrow. So looking forward to it! Not!
