Can't win for loosing


Well, apparently, in addition to not lasting more than a few days when it should last a few weeks and increasing my shaking, the dual steroid shot I got on Friday makes my blood pressure go up. It's increased every reading [morning / evening] since Friday. Of course, I did need something to break the pain for a bit at least and it did let me get up to the memorial & back which I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. If I get it again I need to remember that the higher reading isn't one of the normal "blips" where it drops back to normal and adjust my bp Rx to keep it from going up (as much).

Blood pressure still up, but not as high as it was last night. Think it swung some throughout the day which has made me feel exhausted.

Dr. confirmed that the shots can raise blood pressure "for about 48-hours" -- lasted closer to 96 for me but at least I know what it is. Don't remember it doing this this 1st time.

Taking this Friday and next Monday off for a long weekend to try & relax and de-stress.
