Golden Scales

I should mention that my weight today is the lowest it’s been in at least two years.

Isn’t it ironic that they’re like “lose weight and your blood pressure will go down,” (even though it was high 70 pounds ago) then they give you pills that make your weight skyrocket and your energy dissipate completely.  Until you can’t afford the pills anymore, and are reminded that you weren’t always a zombie with a null metabolism.

Energy.  Yay.

Seriously, though, I remember the first time I was on blood pressure pills.  Beta blockers may have been worse, and there were other circumstances contributing, but in short order I gained massive weight.  Worse, and more clearly a side effect, I couldn’t think straight anymore.  I couldn’t remember things, at least in a what I’m doing one minute to the next sort of way.

I think it’s been worse than I realized with the cocktail I’ve been on the past several years.
