I did call the doctors' office this morning though...I never gave it a thought on Wednesday when I was there, but my fingers are completely numb when I wake up in the morning, I have no idea if this has anything to do with my BP or with the Raynaud's but thought I'd better let him know....
In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Happy Friday. Survived my dental appointment yesterday without any problems. My hygenist says I'm doing an excellent job of keeping the tartar at bay and have done a good job brushing. Now I only have one more appointment to make (for my osteoporosis screening, which I don't mind, since all I have to do is lay on a table) and then I'm caught up on medical stuff. We're headed for a beautiful and sunny 50 degrees today and the weather guy is saying that we'll make it to 66 tomorrow before another cold front comes through. WOW!!! A Saturday at 66 degrees??? I can surely agree with that. Spring is a'coming and I can't wait." on 8:02:14 am, Fri, 02/29/08

Your BP this morning was great!! But I don't think I ever feel caught up on the medical stuff. Since October, I've had my mammogram, blood pulled twice, two visits with my internist, two with the rheumatologist, and just this week was the GYN and the dentist. Once I get my osteoporosis scan done, it'll be time to see the internist and the rheumatologist again. So it never stops. But hey, did you hear anything back from your doctor about your fingers being numb again? Is this the first morning it's happened? (NT) -- Sandy, 12:17:49 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
sure does seem like it's one thing after another when it comes to doctors and tests and stuff doesn't it???
Yes April (the girl at the doctor's office) called me back this afternoon....I guess he doesn't feel the numbness in my fingers has anything to do with my BP or the meds....and he didn't feel it was anything to be overly concerened about...that it was due possibly to the way I sleep, which is entirelly possible, or due to my Raynaud's and if not those two things...I've also got Carpal Tunnel in both wrists...so it's probably a combination of all of the above!! I'll talk to him more about it when I see him in April.....I just feel better knowing he doesn't feel it has anything to do with my BP.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:38:59 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
Yes, 128 over 70 is good right? Hopefully it will stay that way for you. (NT) -- Ramona, 2:22:44 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
yes, this is really good, especially for me..but then it usually is pretty good when I take it here at home....it's just when I go to the darn doctor that it likes to spike....like I told Dr. Stokes....he's looking at me not knowing why on earth it was so high and I said , yep, it's high, but could you just imagine what it would be like if I didn't like him as my doctor..then it really would be high!!! He just laughed...because the truth is I really do like him..and trust him..and love the girls in the office too....I guess I've got a severe case of "white coat syndrom" (NT) -- Kate, 8:26:12 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
