I'm going to call this over... 11 months ago

and start a new one about keeping my meds up-to-date.



I got a bunch of prescriptions in hand today... 12 months ago

and will mail them to the new mailorder pharmacy tomorrow. It’s called Caremark.

We’ll see how they handle things. The first emergency I had, they handled very nicely, very quickly.



Very good bp numbers today. 12 months ago

I think it was something like 126/78. Very good!



The new mailorder pharmacy actually shipped my meds. 13 months ago

And in only about 4 days. Wow.

They refused to give me my I.D. number over the phone at customer service. But it was on the paperwork that came with the prescription. Ha.

Hopefully the system will work the rest of the year. I need a rest from pharmacy dramatics.



Moved heaven and earth again... 13 months ago

to renew my prescription. This is just a temporary supply.

My insurance moved my mail-order pharmacy, and it’s going to take months to get set up. I am not pleased so far.



I wrote an article on blood pressure in my blog today. 13 months ago

It felt good to add some personal information. It’s not easy maintaining, lowering bp. Not easy at all.

My bp is still doing very well. 13 months ago

I am really encouraged. This new medication, in concert with the others, is working well.



My blood pressure continues to be good. 15 months ago

I went today, and I’ll be going back to the clinic next week.

I’m having some bad side effects from this new bp medication, though. She mentioned that was a possibility. So we will most likely cut back on the dosage.



New meds... 16 months ago

I am now on 3 different blood pressure meds. I would like to find something…SOMEthing!...that lowers my blood pressure.

Besides ice cream, petting kitties, and massage, of course.



Back on schedule... 19 months ago

as of yesterday. I had gone on half dose for about a week. The prescriptions arrived and I’m back on full dose. Haven’t noticed any difference.

But this was a warning to me: I have to watch this more closely. Obviously I had a problem with the mail-order place; I ordered when I was about 2 weeks of running out, but they sent me a letter after 2 weeks (!) telling me my refill couldn’t be filled.

It was a circular battle.
