I see it as I have a new healthy for me. So when I say I have had a good week health wise, I will still have been in constant and severe pain, I will still have ached from head to toe, I will still have felt dizzy but maybe actually one of those things have been slightly less or my pain levels have been normal for me pretty much all the week without too many times of them increasing.<br /><br />I liked the blood pressure comment - reminded me of me - I have super low blood pressure (not sure the numbers or anything...) and the first time I found this out and discovered this was during a hospital appointment where the nurse took my blood pressure with her machine. She then stopped it started it again and again. Then she tried my other arm and tried that several times. Then she went and got another machine and tried that several times on each arm. Then she went and got an older fashioned hand one and tried that on both arms and then admitted that it was as low as it had originally read she just couldn't believe it! They didn't want to let me go from the hospital and wanted to keep me in but after a few hours of it not increasing at all the doctors admitted that there was nothing they could do to help bring it up. I managed to convince them to let me go after saying that I felt exactly the same as I always did and so have obviously been walking round with it as low as that and managing. I ended up with some nice bruises on my arms - arms do not take kindly to having blood pressure checked 20+ times in a row each!Suzy Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021634804368342923noreply@blogger.com
