Morning everyone!

Hope you've all got something interesting and enjoyable to do today. Mine will consist of washing floors, and going for a blood test! I'm hoping my iron levels have got back to being 'in normal range', so I can come off the iron tablets.

Have a good day everyone

Kate

Good Morning Everyone, I had a phone call the other day after handing into the surgery my BP results, twice a day for 7 days and asked to attend an appointment as the doctor wished to discuss my BP which was quite high.

Saw doc yesterday and he asked how I was getting on with the new BP tablets prescribed by his colleague. I said obviously not very well as I was asked to attend here I replied. The GP I had seen last time said I needed a stronger tablet as the one I was on I was taking the highest dose it came in so she said "I'll give you a different one"! Turns out I should have been taking the new one 'as well as' the one I already took! I asked how I was meant to know that when she didn't say in addition to the one I already took, so I assumed she was replacing it. GP I saw yesterday said it wasn't even clear in her notes that she meant I had to take both!   He apologised on her behalf and then said it was no wonder my BP had gone up and he would speak to her!

Now I have to take both pills once a day in the morning for 4 weeks, then take my BP twice a day for the following week and hand it in to the surgery! Let's hope that solves the problem!

I had no idea we had to be able to read minds, as well as everything else! Still raining here! Have a good day everyone and a terrific holiday weekend. I had better try to get a few hours sleep now as I visit a friend every Friday afternoon!  Anyone got exciting plans for the weekend??

Good morning all , good luck with bloods Kate, mines lazy day of sweet F.A I'm doing nothing it's raining and I have lots of food in the house and I'm very tired, enjoy and be good!

Hope you get plenty of rest Lee. Your body heals most when you're asleep!

Hi Kate, I've got everything crossed for you. Iron tablets are horrible to take so hope you can come off them soon!

Lec That sounds like the kind of day I need! Enjoy!

Thanks Kate that good advice and I need it , have a good day

Morning Annette, I do hope they have got it right second time around, shouldn't happen though I'm guessing most of us will have a similar experience, PS I always thought women could read our minds, must be mens only, say hello to your friend for me  and enjoy the weekend, I have no plans, take care'

love Eddie xx
