before i put my foot in my mouth over the phone to the doctor i need to know if there's like. an agreed upon level of side effects you're expected to just put up with when taking longterm meds or if i have a legit grievance that is worth reassessing what i'm on because i feel like such a whiny fraud lol.....

#:)#on the life/death scale edema so bad i can't walk is infinitely more survivable than hypertension #so in a simple a/b choice between the two surely the doctor will say that it's better to swell than risk blood pressure elevation #like. will they just tell me i'm being silly and need to put my health in perspective because Feeling Okay is now permanently lost to me or #surely i should just be grateful to be alive rather than complaining because i don't feel like how i did before i got sick #feeling like i'm gonna get a bad grade in being a patient lol
