Mortality, part 5

NorvascLast night, I came home, sat on the couch, and kicked off my shoes to relax.

When I looked down, both of my ankles were as swollen as if I’d broken them. They hurt too.

I’m sixteen days from my thirty-third birthday and I already have painful, swollen ankles.

.

Norvasc is a medication for high blood pressure. It’s easier on me than were (which really threw me for a loop), but after seeing what happened to my ankles last night, I just don’t know what to do.

I have skipped my last two doses of Norvasc.

I wish I could skip all of my meds, but I know I can’t.

Hopefully, they’ll find an alternative for me. If not, I guess I’ll just have to get used to painful, swollen ankles.

Not quite thirty-three years old and I’ve got ankles like my grandparents. Nice.

Yeah. Worry is a strange thing, isn’t it? Thanks, Kevin.

That sux Tim. I hope they can find a pill or a dosage that gives you the benefit w/o the side effects. I really hope it’s something your doctors can remedy.

Getting older is a drag. I’ll be 34 this year, and I’ve certainly been feeling the effects of aging a lot in the last year. I think my problems may have to do with my x-country move and the different climate. My arthritis is much worse in my back and knees, the bone spurs in my feet ache every day, and my allergies are way worse. There are days when I feel like I’m 60! Oye! I’ve got shpilkas in my genekdazoink! =P
Anyway, hope you feel better.
FYI – I just bought a pretty cool book called “YOU: The Owner’s Manual : An Insider’s Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger”. It’s pretty funny, and gives good information in terms I can understand. =)
