I know worry does nothing to fix anything except maybe the initial get to the doctor or pay the bill or change the budget, but after that it's worthless. It's just hard to release it. <br /><br />Good luck with the rest of your results.

One is the type that I can do something about. In which case, I do something about it and fix it, so there is no need to worry about it. The other is something that I can do nothing about. In which case, as I can't do anything about it, there is no point in worrying about it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965300148218903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-1510922275166893332010-01-19T19:41:53.603-03:302010-01-19T19:41:53.603-03:30I have been away for a little while so I have miss...I have been away for a little while so I have missed what has been going on with your eyes...

A medical condition that could bring it on? Has your thyroid been checked? <br /><br />As a rule I don't worry much, except when it concern my physical health. When I think there's something seriously wrong, but I'm not sure and I have to wait to find out. I worry then. <br /><br />For the rest I try to live in the moment. I don't knit socks, but I'm good at staring into the middle distance and letting my thoughts wander into nothingness.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-19483392212343018652010-01-19T11:35:46.949-03:302010-01-19T11:35:46.949-03:30Oh, that must be a relief, WWW.

But does that mean you have a general problem of hypertension that should be addressed? Personally I found my blood pressure was slightly raised because I was drinking so much caffeine. I cut the caffeine intake, BP went down to normal.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
