Okay. So. Look. We have all hade med situations. All of us. Me? Been on around 52 or so since 1997.

It is a normal and appropriate human reaction for most of us to kind of say, in moments of fear slash exasperation--they all suck!! Nothing will ever help me because I am the only one who is this sick!

I have felt this many times. But it is not true. There are probably at least five million other bp 1 patients around the planet as sick as I am. Almost for sure. So, this thought? It is not facts-based. It is false.

To combat this harmful cognitive trap, I recommend maybe making a careful list of previous medications and all recalled, actual or suspected side effects. In our collective experience, there is virtually always a solid med combo to be found. But. But--if you get stuck in the ""all-bp-meds-will-immediately-assassinate-me" trap, you could be hosed. Most likely, by yourself.

Good luck!
