Hi @Zoe7
I know about cold nights in Tassie - most of the time I have been there in winter - it does feel brisk up on Mount Wellington in a blizzard -
I am glad I am feeling a bit better too - I started different BP medication last night - I was told it might make me feel tired and I do but not the way I was - and I can see my feet are not as swollen - if fact I can feel the floor - I was such a mess and it was my feet that made my doctor change the medication though it seemed my whole body was involved - and my mind - I was so spaced out on what I was taking
And this should not be - goll-ee - we take medication to feel better not worse - though BP does not have symptoms - they hand out medication without finding the real cause of high BP and I think they had the wrong reason - I told the lady doctor stress - my own doctor would have put me on this one and at a lower dose - I think I feel well enough to work through the fatigue part when my feet don't feel too big for my socks - aw
I get the results of my blood tests on Tuesday but know pretty well nothing is wrong but stress - stress - let's leave it at stress cause I have a lot of that
I know you have days that are just plain rough and others that are just rough so that is not much of a choice - I can hope that winter is not too hard on your and I think a lot about you down there
I love it there and want to go back - maybe I will take a few days at Lakes Entrance when I feel as if I have recovered from the wrong medication and my daughter is okay about the cat - I might have to go to Hobart eventually anyway but I like options -
Take it easy my friend - I know you are battling down there with Toby and the fluffball -
Sending hugs
Dec
The nights are pretty
