Medication and Wrist


So I had a fantastic birthday weekend and am feeling pretty good. I am feeling much better with the fludrocortisone and am thinking I am about ready to up the frequency of that again. Currently I am at 3x a week. My dizziness is getting much better and I feel as if my blood pressure is too. I need to start keeping track of that again! My heart rate, however, is still not cooperating so we will see if he wants to add another medication for that.

Onto worse news… With the connective tissue disorder I have, EDS, my joints are weaker. I majorly subluxed (partially dislocated) my right wrist today. This is not unusual for me to sublux joints, but the bad part was that I could not get it back into the socket! It was out of socket for over 2 hours… OUCH! I am going to brace it for a couple weeks and take Aleve for the next few days and we should be fine.

I will email the doctor the end of this week so I will check back in the beginning of next week with an update on medications.
