As I said in the last post, the MRA showed all was normal as far as the blood flow in my brain. That was wonderful news. As the lower dose of Effexor takes hold, it seems my headaches and BP are decreasing, very slowly. I have dealt with a "Boil" on the back of my neck for 11 days, that required medical attention every other day. They took my BP each time and except for one day, it was in the 139/90 range. That is better tan a few weeks ago. I still get short, intense headaches when I cough or sneeze. But, all in all, I think things are going in the right direction. I even went and played Pool last Wednesday. The first time in at least three months. I consider that good news since I have been pretty much anti-social for a while.
This may be one of the signature LBD positive swings I have experienced since I was first diagnosed. I have learned to appreciate these respites and fear them at the same time, because they always lead to a big downward turn! But, I will enjoy the good times while they are here.
