medusahealingSo today my Uvula swelled. It's not painful. It's not sensitive to the touch. It just swelled this morning. Which caused some hinky things with my voice and swallowing, which is why I went to Urgent Care. It's been years since I've been to the doctor.
They did not palpate my neck when they checked me up (and I mention this because while the heat and tenderness is gone from the nodes, the swelling is still present, it's interesting), they checked my temp, my BP, my pulse, and my oxygen. They did a strep test.
The prescribed me with some prednisone for 3 doses, to be taken in the morning with food.
I've also taken 1 IBprofen every 6 ish hours.
I've ordered some Anise Jakemans Throat Drops, since I've found those are the only brand I've taken that doesn't cause agitation for my thought.
So I'm actually considered at stage 1 Hypertension right now with a BP of 149/64. While the 64 is well within normal range, the 149 is the lowest HBP rating.
I've been dragging my feet on changing my diet for some time. I've known that it was necessary, but haven't found the fire to light the desire.
But life happens for a reason, and everything has a season. So ... yeah.
My roommate is planning on switching to the Keto Diet, whereas I'll be going the more raw option. My body is much happier with less cooked food and more raw.
