Morning! Just got back from my dtr. Well, the bp was down and my bloodwork came in great. :)No problems there causing my bp to rise. So we are just taking care of my asthma problem and watching the bp. Going to take singulair in addition to the flonase and emergency inhaler. If that doesn't help by Friday, since I have been using the inhaler 2-3 times a day for the last 2 weeks, we will start a daily inhaler. He definitely heard a lot of wheezing though. But, I feel so much better knowing exactly what this is. He said I should start feeling better with breathing by Friday. Yayyy for meds! And I never thought I would ever say that! :p

So very glad to hear your're feeling better! :)
And yes, many times modern meds can be the answer. Although, holistic meds can do same for many, as well...we're all different. Whatever works...!!! :)

I survived taking DS to the dentist for 3 fillings. I'm so glad to be home. It took 10 minutes just to convince him to let them give him the...oh geez...I can't even remember the English word...the shot they give you to make it numb. What in the world is that called? Whatever...so she finally got that in and then it took another 15 minutes to calm him down because in order to get him to agree to having the shots, she said he could choose to do either the top ones or the bottom one today....but she didn't ask me first and it was a pain to make the FIRST two appointments around school and work schedules...I wasn't trying to do a 3rd. He was refusing to even have ONE done today and was angry that we weren't letting him cancel, so he finally agreed to do the top ones and then she did the shots and I said let's just get them done so we don't have to go through this AGAIN. And he freaked. So we ended up having to call daddy so he could try to calm him down. NOT a good experience. But they are done and once he calmed down, it went super fast and even he agrees it wasn't bad. He just HATES the shots to numb it and he was mad that I made her break her promise, but I wasn't letting him call the shots. I should probably send the Dentist some flowers or something for dealing with him. He is NOT an easy patient. Fortunately everyone made it through relatively unscathed. Now....where's my booze?

Oh yes, I do have it! Always have. My parents have it too. He mentioned it last visit cause it fluctuated like 15 points while I was there. Today the nurse took it and it was like 174/75. Talked to the dtr and he then took it. 127/73. Nurse took at end and it was 134/78. It goes all over the place. lol He said since I am really healthy, except for the asthma, we will keep an eye on the bp if it gets worse. At least, no pills for now. Thanks Figgy--me too!!;)

Yep, when the nurse first takes it at the beginning of my appointments, it's usually up there a bit. But, by the time they take it again, just before I leave, it's usually OK...! :)

Mini rant alert:

So Mylan, the company that makes Epi Pens, inflated the prices to the point where they are barely even affordable.

Then, a recall was announced on certain Epi Pens because they could fail to inject properly in an emergency.

So basically, they charge you a ridiculous amount of money for a lifesaving product that will not work. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Okay, rant over.

Reading in a moving vehicle never bothered me. I had an hour bus ride home from school and I would work on homework or read. Most of the time I skipped the homework and read my book. I would do a lot of reading on family road trips as well. We would play some games too. I also liked the books with the magic pen that I would get at the Cracker Barrel, those were a hoot. Does anyone remember those?

Yep, have never had motion sickness issues reading in a moving vehicle, and still don't to this day.
The only difference is these days I'm reading from my iPhone...!!! :hilarious:

Honestly, I'm pretty sure my vertigo is just exaggerated because my inner hear was pretty much destroyed with my Cochlear Implant installation.
And since one of my sides work... they get mixed signals.
I for example, get VERY DIZZY if I move my head quickly backwards or read/watch vids when my peripheral vision is seeing things move.

Sympathy like.
I figured that probably had a lot to do with it.
