Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I had my monthly Larry appointment.  He did a lot of gentle manipulations; mostly on my neck.  The OA release he does is like magic.
  • I had my annual asthma check-up with Dr. Rawsthorne.  Everything checked out well.  My breathing tests looked great.  The plan?  Continue with Advair, Singulair, my rescue inhaler, and my nebulizer machine for emergencies.
  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • My blood pressure has been a major roller coaster lately.  One minute it is normal, the next minute it is super low, the next minute, the machine can’t find it…I guess that’s Dysautonomia for you.  I am starting to get good at recognizing when I have fluctuations.  When it drops, I get really tired and have a hard time thinking and forming words.  This issue is on my list to discuss with Bev when I see her and Dr. Grubb at the end of January.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my 6 month cleaning at the dentist.  I received a better report with the flossing.
  • I had my second treatment with my cranio-sacral therapist.  I am finding that these appointments are ones that I am actually looking forward to.  Gotta love relief.
