Lately

[Caustic Burno]

Haven't been on much lately, wearing a vehicle out to doctors appointments.
Having blood pressure issues that come out of the blue. They haven't figured this one out yet. Playing the medication elimination game currently.
They are thinking the vertebral arteries have occlusion from all the arthritis in my neck.

 

[Ky hills]

Sorry to hear that, hope they can get it figured out and dealt with easily.

 

[gcreekrch]

Best wishes they find the culprit.

You haven't pondered selling cows and causing it?

I hope they get it sorted soon CB, best wishes.

It's buying the new truck. Stressing about spending money.

I feel for you, my dad has been having all strange blood pressure and heart racing issues. Every time they think they have it figured out it goes ooutof whack again. One thing they did figure out was there was a diuretic in one of his medications which caused his electrolytes to literally drain out of him. Got that sorted but still random blood pressure spikes and random a fibs.

I was thinking the exact same thing

I wish you were right!
I dread getting to the solution!
They will run you to death testing.

I had some of the same issues and had to start using a C-Pap. I'm on 1/4 the meds now. I was stopping breathing 26 times an hour at night.

Did the arthritis stem from the laminectomy? Hope they get it figured out!

 

[Dsth]

hope they find the cause and get you back to "like new" condition. we miss you when you are not on here.

I am ate up with AS a form of arthritis as you know caused the laminectomy. You have two small arteries running up your vertebrae through some small holes in the vertebrae.
ENT is thinking the one to the left side is occluded by arthritis.
None of this has been verified yet.

Ankylosing spondylitis?

Hope they get it figured out quickly and you get feeling better.

I knooow how that is.. I have had more tests and Dr appointments since moving here 8 months ago that all the rest of my life combined and I'm not one bit better for it and have yet to have any Dr offer a course of remediation or treatment. (Have an MRI coming up in a week or 2 over in Killeen Advent that may show more if they can do it without magnetically pulling the implant out of position in my heart. )

Just picked up a $300 special made insert for my left shoe/foot yesterday to prevent me from walking on just the left side of that foot. Ins didn't cover it either. A temporary fix for yet one more problem caused by right side spinal/hip problems.

A good pair of TLs I'll probably never wear again. You can see I walk on the left (outside) of my left foot..all caused by right side siatica or some other spinal problem.

Ankylosing spondylitis?

Ate up with it, 12 disc messed up because of the dreadful arthritis.

Hope you get some relief for the blood pressure issue. There doesn't seem to be much they can do about fixing AS. They just suppress the immune system and treat symptoms. My brother has had debilitating AS since he was 11 yrs old. Something, probably an nail puncture wound, caused his body to start attacking itself. He is now 73 yrs old and just keeps moving so he won't rust in one position. It hurts me just to see him walk. Maybe some of these new-fangled treatments will be found to work on AS in time to help you. Just keep on keeping on.
