Ok, this has very little to do with stitching, what I want to say, so if you want to just skip this post that is fine, I understand. I will start of with the stitch portion of this post so you can read and move on if you like! But I feel like I just want to "talk" about how I feel. I know, I know, you're probably saying "Get a therapist already!" LOL
so, stitch-wise things are...sloooow...mostly all I have worked on this entire past week has been one halloween card. I wanted to try to finish it this weekend, and just have not had the energy to pull it out and work on it anymore than a few minutes at a time. I have wanted to work on Howling, I have wanted to work on "Joy to the World" card, but I just can't find the energy...
Which brings me to the non-stitchy portion of this post.
So, Friday I went to the doctor to get a refill on my prescription for my Birth control, however, they won't give it to me because my blood pressure is too high. I understand this, and it makes sense. It's not the first time this happened. It happened in 06 also, and I learned to live with it.
I do have blood pressure meds that I take, or am supposed to...ahem. I am horrible about taking pills, and being on top of that. I forget them, or whatnot, so I am sure this has contributed to my blood pressure being so high. I had it under control when I was pregnant, and now it is all out of whack again.
So, in order to try to lower the BP I have decided no more coffee, until I get this straightened out. I have also decided to try to be better about taking my BP pills. Yeaaaah...There is a label on the pill bottle...something to the affect of "This medicine may cause drowsiness...blah blah and so on..." so, the whole "No coffee, AND taking of drowsy medicines"?....Naaaaaaap....zzzz....
I feel so out of it! I am tired, and due to the no hormones in the BC I am also cranky, and sad, and irritable, and I'm just a mess....I have no energy to do anything, I took a three hour nap today and though I just woke up a few hours ago I feel ready to go back to bed. I hate feeling this way!!
I'm sorry for the rant, but I just needed to talk to someone, and I appreciate it if you read all this drivel, I do. Anyway, I think I am gonna go curl up in bed and just go to sleep. Why fight it? I will try to get a stitchy/photo post up this week! Thank yo uagain for listening to me!

Such a bummer! I had no idea BP pills can cause drowsiness! And no coffee on top of it. Sigh. I hope your BP gets back under control so you can get your BC pills back. Hope you start feeling more normal again soon too -- hopefully your body will adjust and the blahs will go away. :( Hang in there!
Hang in there Lana, hopefully you get the med thing figured out.
Happy Stitching

Sorry you're feeling so down. Sending you good thoughts and I hope you feel better soon.
Oh Lana, I hope you're feeling much better soon! I have BP issues as well so I know how you feel. I do take my pills and my BP has still been out of control. So I finally decided that maybe I should really try and lose some of my extra weight. I started Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago. I hate it but I'm hoping it will improve the situation.
Hang in there! I'm sure you will start feeling more energetic soon.
Hi Lana. I am a NP....have your BP pills always caused you to feel so tired? If so, that's probably why you neglect taking them. Really, there are a gazillion BP pills. So ask your doc for something different if this continues! No fun not feeling like stitching!!!
Keep your head up. Things will get better that way! I am praying for you!
I hope things improve for you Lana. I too have blood pressure issues and have been on meds for a few years now. I find with mine that I need to take them at the same time every day, otherwise my symptoms go hay wire. Take care.
