Since you're so close to BSL, I think it would be easier to just get there and do mini trims later. What do the other students in your bellydance class wear? I dress up just to dance at home. To me, thats all part of the fun.

The other students wear t shirts and stretchy pants. Just like they were doing any old work out class. I agree, the costuming is a huge part of my fun!

I didn't get to plop as long as I would have liked. I wish I could put my avatar pic side by side for comparison. Edit: I took out the original two pics since one was tooooo big.

This is from April 12, 2008 and the other is from August 10th, 2008 Although the pic doesn't show it so well, there are many more waves in the first than the second.

I'm a bit unhappy about it however I'd rather be getting help than have a stroke or other organ damage. That's how high it is. I'm still exercising and improving my eating habits so, oh well, at least I have another day on planet earth.

I thought that after stopping the BC that you were on, that your blood pressure would go back to normal on it's own. Does it take a while for traces of the pill to leave your system?

Hypertension does run in my family. Most of my father's side died from heart disease. This past June my dad had 5 bypasses.

I am lucky I caught it now, my pressure is still too high which will damage my organs if left untreated.

So, apparently the cause isn't the bc, or isn't only that. I was soooo hoping it would be normal by now. They took blood today and are going to run a bunch of comprehensive tests so I'll have a more complete picture. I have a feeling there's more going on, especially if the Prednisone I took in '99 gave me Cushings Syndrome. That will be one of those, "I hate being right so often" moments.

When I told my students what had happened (I missed 2 days of work) they were shocked since I seem so calm all the time and teach yoga.

Bloody genetics.

I'm shocked too. Both my mother and her mother had hypertension and died as a result when they were in their 60's. However, they didn't take care of themselves very well.

Thats why I was certain that I would be okay if I made sure that I took care of myself and did the right things like exercising, watching my diet and meditating etc. I had no clue that genetics played such a strong role that it could override healthy and supposedly preventative habits. Cry

La Diosa, unfortunately genetics don't give a crap about how good you take care of yourself. If your genetics kick in on the hypertension, all of the things you are doing will still benefit you. Still continue to take care of yourself!!!

I think the side effects are decreasing!! I taught class today and felt pretty normal. My bp yesterday was 119/88! Now, I have to watch out for the meds to not lower my pressure too much.

I'm sooo happy with my hair today. I got up early (8am) and bathed, finally got some acv for my rinse and did my plopping. Happy, happy, happy. Also, I got 3 pairs of Ketylo hairsticks. Black, green and dark brown. They're spirals, which is the only style that will hold my hair properly without using hairpins. I got them to wear bellydancing and to just throw into my purse. I got the medium length, works good!!

I'm getting a massage and adjustment this afternoon-its been overdue with my recent health crisis.

Its sunny and 79 degrees today. That makes me happy, too.
