I last left you with the cliff hanger of leaving the doc with Ibuprofen. Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer. During the time I had Ibuprofen, I continued to do my little experiments, and the Ibuprofen worked for a few months, but then my reactions started to flare like it did in the beginning. Now don't think that the Ibuprofen was a magical cure all, it only weakened the reaction, just made it not as bad. Remember you can treat the symptoms, not the disease.
   Well, I got to the point that it bothered me horribly, because I'm such a lucky person, the disease started right before one of the coldest Texas winters I can remember....Oh yes...there was snow...two years...in a row....hehe that kinda rhymed :)
   Anyways, I couldn't wait for my doctor to get back to be switched to the blood pressure medicine, so I went to a different doctor in the same office, a female doctor. Lucky me again, she told me that she would not prescribe me any such thing because I wasn't turning blue....yes....that's what she said...she wanted me to start turning blue before she would help me. She also told me that it should be easy for me to not have reactions because it's Texas....and to just wash my hands with warm water....and yes....this was a doctor...unfortunately she's still there and licensed...
   So I had to pay another co-pay to get back into MY doctor and told him what happened. He wasn't happy about that and prescribed me Nifedipine. Now I have it a bit under more control except that the blood thinner made things...not so great. Unfortunately in this situation...I'm a girl...who still has her period....yeah...so to control that aspect of life I had to get on birth control to regulate it and to keep my cramps down. And I came up with that! My doctor thought I was smart :D

   Unfortunately for you readers that I surprisingly have, it's time for bed for me.

Goodnight! :)
