My son does have a therapist, and he has begun seeing her more often. He is getting a new pdoc on Friday. I had to switch him because of insurance changes, and maybe it will be a good thing.

As for me, I am still quite shaky when I sit down, but it is a sunny, gorgeous day, so I went out and walked a while. My blood pressure has been pretty high for the past week or so. I used to take meds for this, but after I went off of cymbalta it went back down, 120s/80s. Now, for the past week or so, it is up to 150-160s/90s. I'm not able to figure out what all of this means. I have racing everything; thoughts, hands, heart, etc.

I am going out of town Monday through Wednesday of next week, so I can't get immediate help from my doctors. I wouldn't know which one to call, anyway. I guess when I get back, I'll go to my family doctor, since she can treat all of me, or maybe by some stroke of luck, I will be back to "normal".

I plan on sitting on the mall in Washington and soaking up sun in hopes of relaxing next week, so I hope I get a sunny day. Also, I plan on joining a rally if anyone is marching outside of the Supreme Court building in support of gay marriage.
