Thanks for the support, I really need it right now.
The BP "crisis" turned out to be a mirage caused by a faulty home BP wrist monitor (I have a reliable one now) but I still have to be careful -I had to cancel my dentist today because I realized at the last moment that typical freezing contains epinephrine or something similar, and that plus the novocaine or whatever could easily be a critical BP combo. Dentist phoned pharmacist, pharmacist said "absolutely not", so I have a reprieve on the dentist and instructions to stop the selegeline at least 24 hr prior to my new appointment. I actually think it should be 2 weeks as selegeline is very persistent.
So I don't have to go to the dentist today -- but the down side is I don't have anything to force me to leave the apartment! I will make myself go tou and run at least one errand however. And tomorrow I have a volunteer job for the afternoon which is always great for me - I answer phones and run a small office, and many of the calls involve helping other people with problems similar to my own, so it really helps by getting my focus off my own problems and feeling good about helping others.
Thanks again,
Tony
