Today, after four days of being away away from home and the stress of everyday life, my BP is way down again. Yay!

I always had peasant-like good health and I still have not adjusted eight years after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. If it wasn't so horrible, it would be laughable.<br /><br />I totally relate to your distress, but fortunately you have a great attitude and you are dealing with something you can control. I always put a plug in for meditation and guided imagery (cd's by Belleruth Naparstek are great), works in labor and works with a myriad of other conditions. With your determination, you will have the upper hand and you will manage fine. And you have the good thoughts and wishes of so many of us. :)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919830837927228571.post-27773601890835727162013-05-28T16:44:36.862-04:002013-05-28T16:44:36.862-04:00Could just be related to the stress of the move an...Could just be related to the stress of the move and other life adjustments lately.
