FIBRO & BLOOD PRESSURE 
Every now and again my doctor asks me to keep a check on my blood pressure. I've woken up a number of nights in pain due to fibromyalgia ramping things up.

One night I decided, as my BP testing machine was by the side of my bed, decided to see what it was doing.

To be clear I didn't get out of bed, I gently sat up and reached for the BP machine and tested it.
22 APRIL 136 / 85

Does fibro raise the blood pressure, I will test again when it wakes me next.
23 APRIL 135 / 84

In agony again this morning after not looking stening to my body and pushing myself too far... again 
24 APRIL 137 / 86

At rest following a day of being hectic, in agony and can't seem to push on with things
2 MAY 128 / 83

Recipe: Turkey Mince and Veg

 Turkey Mince and Veg This idea come from a few weeks ago, when I was in Tesco and saw minced beef with butternut squash already mixed in to it. First of all chop up some spring onions and three cloves of garlic, gently fry these in a big pan. Add in to this some chives, parsley, salt and pepper.
