Well I met with him this morning and we talked and he told me he was hestitant to put me on any other meds. I understood and listened to his arguements against any other meds. He said that with my psych problems and psych meds that the meds he could put me on could make problems worse. So he told me yoga, tai chi and the like could help matters. So I am going to check that out. I told him I do pilates and he said that could help. He also told me that if I lose more weight that would help. I wasn't surprised he played the weight card. Most doc's do.

As for my dizziness he thinks it's related to one of the meds my pdoc gives me for sleep. It's minipress which is a bloodpressure med. It lowers your blood pressure and he thinks it lowers my blood pressure too much. So I called my pdoc's office and spoke to the nurse there and she is going to speak with my pdoc about either lowering the dose or taking me off of it totally because last night I passed out twice and messed up my knee and broke my dishwasher as the dishwasher broke my fall. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to tell my landlord about the dishwasher without making him mad. It's not like I did it on purpose but it's still my fault.
