Good morning. May I rant? I had an epiphany when I awakened this morning! Why am I gaining weight though I practice a good lifestyle; why are my hands swollen and rheumatoid in the morning, why are my eyes itching, why am I borderline diabetic- —-/because of my hypertension medication!!!! This is so crazy! And it will push me over into a chemically induced obese diabetic! This is how medicine works in America today. Push a legal drug rather than get to the cause. My hypertension is mild enough that if I sit quietly for 5 minutes it is usually normal. So, I just have to be my own physician. Of course when you go to the doctor, they rush you through, ask a million questions while getting your reading to get their charting done and wonder why your read high. My hypertension is mild enough to be managed by disciplined exercise, nutrition and stress control. I am so disgusted!! No, let me change that. I am thankful for the epiphany, for the insight, and for the knowledge to know what to do. I was at my perfect weight before the round of holidays and events hit. I need 10 pounds off which will remove the threat of Diabeties and ease the burden on my blood vessels. So here we go. That’s all my friends. Let’s make it a sunshiny day! ☀️☀️☀️
