5. I feel better now that I thought of it

I never thought I'd forget what we went through with my Mom, how intense it was at the time. The hospital in Colorado lost her records, and the Ohio doctors said that just our saying wasn't enough to treat her. My sister and I were printing stuff off the Internet and showing it to her doctors, trying to get her the medicine that kept her normal. If you are having a crisis, taking b.p. laying down, and then standing is a quick way to test for it. If you are having a crisis, your b.p. drops way down, fast. So the e.r. dr. tested her, was astonished, and they finally started listening. She got the Florinef she needed to live a stable life. If I have it, I'm not as far along as my Mom was and my records won't be lost. But if there is a reason for all of the slight, noticeable changes in my health, I'll be glad to know.
