Well for me, it seems it makes a difference with my blood pressure.

Needless to say, I was about 15 minutes early, but they called me early. Now I'm sure it was a combo of anxiety about doc and kidney and getting back to work. I've always had low blood pressure, today 155/85 when I got in.

The nurse said, "We're doing it again before you leave."
Well met the doctor, I've not had a primary doctor since I moved here. He was nice and best of all, I could hear him! He's not a woman, but I can handle that. His first question, "What's been going on over the past year?" That was a good place to start! With that he said, "We're not going to put you on blood pressure meds, let's see if we can't get it down without it. I think it may just be a backlash on all the stuff that's been going on." I think I've found the guy!
Anyhow, kidney infection seems to be receding, but temperature had risen while I was there. They gave me liquid Motrin and no return to school until Monday. My prince is not going to be happy. Back to doc on Friday, white blood cell count still too high. Kidney still too tender. Best of all, tomorrow I can walk up to a mile at the gym, I don't think the back pain will let me get that far though and walk in water all I like. No whirlpool though! Steam room ok. Can anyone tell me the difference on those two regarding blood pressure?
Which was 138/70 at the end of visit.
