Cute date, anyway I have a doctor's appointment this morning. I guess I am mostly going since I am overdue for an appointment. I think I have resolved my BP issues by going back to my old regimen. However, I don't think I have any refills left on my meds so they should have a prescription on file at the pharmacy so I don't have to keep calling. I should get bloodwork done, but I am chicken. I might ask for a page of a low salt diet, I know I will not be sticking to it but there may be some things I might eat for a snack in place of something salty, or make a lower salt meal once in awhile.

@JudyEv I was googling it. I think I know what I have now, and I will probably h ave to pay at least 35 bucks for a doctor to tell me so.

I hope you mentioned Our stomach pain, or is that resolved now? I did bring something up to her I was avoiding. She was cool about it. That is why I like her. She never does more than I want her to

@snowy22315 It's all good now thanks. I got a referral to a podiatrist too as I think I'm getting a fungal toe-nail. I think the visits are a bit cheaper with a referral.

I shouldn't even go. However, I think they will be upset with me if I don't. I was planning to talk about that thigh issue, but I wore better shoes yesterday and it didn't hurt at all.

I saw the dermatologist a couple of years ago for something that turned out to be a skin irritation, but this thing now looks more like it could be a virus of some sort. We talked about that.

Here our doctors say that once one starts on BP meds that should never be stopped. I take those meds and always have a stock

Getting bloodwork done is no fun and I'll be facing that by the end of this month. Hope your dr visit goes well.

It was fine, but she thinks I should have a dermatologist check out a scab that I have.

I don't know if it's worth trying potassium salt. Spices can replace salt to some extent but again, some might still affect BP negatively. I can't really help with that, I almost got the opposite problem.

Well, its good now, and should stay that way. I just wish I liked watery vegetables as much as salt.

@snowy22315 I like them mashed or in soups, no fresh veggies for me please. Fruits are okay, but then you gotta deal with the sugar in them I guess.

I know I SHOULD get it done. I just don't want to get it done.

Hope that all goes well with your doctor appointment. I know that it's challenging to stick to the diet plan, but having a guideline helps to stick to some and stay on track.
Have a good day

Thanks, I am a salt aholic. I think I always will be, but I could make better choices from time to time.
