Guys, something is wrong. Ragweed and mold are high and having lived in the desert for the past 12 years I am having bad problems with it, but the real problem is my blood pressure. My chest has been aching and my blood pressure is 144/103 and that's with my blood pressure meds! I really need for you all to pray please.
I had a dream about a month or so ago and everything has happened in it except for the last thing -- I was bedridden and some woman was nursing me back to health and in it there was a blog where all of my internet friends were sending me well wishes. I didn't even make the connection once this group got set up that I was making part of the dream happen.
In any event, I am going to bed.

I have to add this -- I am really scared. I am afraid I am about to have another stroke, even though it has been 11 years.
My boys are the rambunctious sort, and I am not sure how I can rest and have them home at the same time.
Rest is what you need sweetie...and (((hugs))). I will be praying for you.
This sound really serious Tyler. I will be praying for you.
Oh honey...please try to rest and go see a doctor. Hugs and love. I will pray.
Oh, Tyler.
Praying.
Tyler,
I am praying for you too!! Indeed, get your rest!
Blessings,
~Amy :)

praying
Tyler Dawn, you are not alone, you are covered in Father's love and protection and have all of us to lean on for support... My heart and prayers are for you my sweet sister!
Along with everyone else... man I wish there was something I could do... but the least of which I can do is to pray as you are restored to perfect health.
Tyler, I pray Papa mitigate the symptoms while He helps you get to the root of this once and for all. I love you, sis.
Gosh ... Lord help !
Gosh I have been buzzing all night, I can really feel the prayers guys, thanks. When I am resting and calm and praying, I can get the bp down to 113/72 but when I get anxious it shoots right back up so something is going on. I will monitor for a few days and if it won't be controlled with my meds anymore maybe I need new meds.
Unfortunately I have genetically high bp, which means that I cannot control it with diet and exercise alone (although it helps a lot when I exercise and eat right). When I first got doagnosed 18 months ago, i refused to take meds and got active and watched the salt and eliminated caffeine and although the numbers came down, they were never stable, which is dangerous in and of itself becasue the heart never rests at a steady rate. So after 9 months of chest pains I finally got medicated and I have been able to cut the meds in half because the bp was actually getting too low!
Anyway, I have been spending time in meditation and prayer, and it is helping a lot, but it is not taking much to set me off temper wise, which is what often happens when my resting rate (the second number) is high and yesterday it was off the charts.
Thanks everyone. You all mean so much to me. I will keep you updated, but I may not be on much.
thanks for the update, tyler. we're all still praying. and i, for one, will pray that the root of anger be cut out and that peace will be yours.
oh, and joel b. not sure if i've seen you around the blogosphere before, but it's very nice to meet you. welcome!
I want the Lord to fix you up and make you whole and that is what we are all asking .... so if you think the below question is out of line that's ok. I mean medicine is ok, in its place, but the Lord performs the best treatments and leaves no scars.
I just can't help myself because I work in health care so I ask, knowing full well that we mere humans are so limited.
So here it is ...when you had the stroke what did they find when they investigated the underlying cause.
And if this is not where you want your head to be right now I understand.
hi Valorosa,
The stroke in 1997 was caused by birth control pills. I don't make any progesterone, we found that out after a bunch of miscarriages at the 6 week point. But we didn't know that back in the 1990's, when they were prescribed to me. Birth control pills given to women without proper screening is a big flaw in our system. My body went into estrogen overload and I had a stroke and then numerous TIA's over the next few years. Right after my stroke my blood pressure was 212/145 but it went back down to normal levels quickly (for me that was 110/68).
They never admitted it, but right after the stroke they took me off of the pill. I was full blown paranoid OCD after the stroke and so I wasn't in a frame of mind to figure things out for a few years. Then I went back on the pill briefly because of some problems I was having and I woke up paralysed in the middle of the night, but since it was just a mild TIA I was fine by morning.
I understand about the meds, I hate being medicated. If I was not having chest pains everyday without it I would not take it. But like I said, diet and exercise did not work.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the welcome... glad to meet you too! I've slowly gotten to know several of the people here over the past few months through blog interaction, and I've found it to be quite a privilege to be among such a great group of people.
oh, Tyler... My prayers are with you. I'll pray right now.
Lots of love and rest up... hopefully someone's helping with the boys?! Praying father will calm them and they'll be extra good... hugs
and hi Joel!!! So nice to see you here!! : )
Wouldn't it be great if we all lived in the same town?!! ... dreaming
"Papa, this is were you need to step in. You have seen all the prayers. They are all lying at your feet. You have heard the prayers of your child. In obedience we stand together and declare that Tyler you are healed in the name of Jesus."
Blessings and grace.
Thanks so much to everyone, sorry for not doing individual responses.
We think we know what the problem is -- this all started when I started to take Claritin. I figured it out this afternoon about a half hour after I took it -- before that my bp was fine (120/72) and then all of a sudden out of nowhere it was 135/85. So i am contacting my doc to get this figured out. There were no warning about this interaction, but everyone is different so hopefully this is it.
I am feeling much better just knowing it is probably a drug interaction. /phew
"Wouldn't it be great if we all lived in the same town?!! ... dreaming"
i think some day we will. some day...
and lennart, welcome!
Man, Tyler,
I miss too much when I don't stop by for awhile.
I'm sorry to hear of your problem.
I will still pray, even though it sounds like you think you've figured out the cause; I hope that was it.
I will pray against fear, too!
