Default What gets me is that

Different docs' scales show different weights? I just calibrate [note] what Doc X's scale says to mine....I've met only one doc scale that agrees with mine! I really, REALLY like THAT DOC! The ones that instantly add pounds are ones I just say, well [since I've made mental notes plus/minus to mine] about the same or a little less...right? They look at me totally 'bug-eyed' - like I remember? Duh - My IVIG dose is weight dependent - I have to know these things, that's why I take a note pad w/me to each visit.. same for BP.

Jarrett, yes meds do play games with our Blood Pressure, Cholesterol and a lot of the Bloodwork #'s get skewed due to them. It's hidden in all the 'prescription information' all over in the fine print. I'd probably have better luck at someplace like Atlantic City or Vegas [and I don't find gambling interesting at all!].

Pain free times, and maybe some fun! - j
