I can deal fine with one or the other but when there is a new (Hey, body hasn’t done that before) AND BP1 with rapid cycling that seems to be speeding up as I get older (gotta love that new nugget O fun), it just gets to be too much.

Like right now...after a mini break to the FL DW Mouse House with the daughter and the grand, I experienced a LOT of edema in my feet and lower legs from chasing a determined mother with not so great “chill out” skills. The hubby was extremely concerned when he picked us up at the airport but I calmed him saying it would go away in a few days. Well...that was late August.

I still have swelling in my feet and legs and now my face is feeling jealous and is doing a hellova job mimicking a Puffer Fish. I have HBP when I cycle into manic but manageable either way with meds. Add to that a jumpy nervous system as I taper off yet another “non narcotic” pain med...Tramadol...which I recommend now only to my arch enemies, that crap is demon spawn...anyway, with all this crazy half century plus body drama AND a hit or miss mental stability - how do you guys cope? I want to stay away from controlled meds since they hate me even though I love them...too much in my younger years and know that I might be wiser...I’m still not much smarter so, no fun drugs for this old hippie.

Just questing for ideas and suggestions. Thanks.
