Diz goes to the doctor, and other stuff

I just got back from seeing the doctor. This is my shrink, Dr. B. He doesn't do much, really. My therapist is most helpful. But Dr. B gives me meds, so I keep him around. I told him about being really dizzy and asked if the Wellbutrin would cause this. He said since I've been taking it at this dose for 6 months, it's doubtful that's the problem. Because of the way the dizziness manifests, he thinks it may have more to do with my blood pressure. With the depression season now getting into full swing he was loath to reduce my dosage.
Just this morning I made an appointment to see the family doc, Dr. F, about my blood pressure meds. I only started needing medication for blood pressure problems about 4-5 months ago. Maybe 6. Whatever. He wants to follow up on that, and now seems like a really good time to do so. It was good to be able to tell Dr. B that I have an appointment in 2 days with Dr. F.

Here's another tag line from my email buddy:
"Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons! Because you are crunchy and taste good with garlic butter. [But then most anything tastes good with garlic butter, just ask the French!]"

dykewife: I like your version better, what with the "meddle ye not" and what have you.

The dizzies can really be a pain in the ass if that's what you fall on.

I get dizzies about 20 feet after I stand up...typically as soon as I pass the last thing I can collapse onto. Wheeee.
Dykewife: That opens up the debate: catsup or ketchup?
