People with physical health issues, what do you think about making a group of us, to support each other? We could also make some representation to spread awareness about our illnesses! Just tell me where you'll be comfortable to chat! And also, there's no matter which diagnosis you have, because we'll represent every physical health issues!

Hypertension, according to the American Heart Association, is when your blood pressure, the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high.

Ok, so my dad works across the street from a hospital or something. Today he had chest pains and his blood pressure was kinda high, so he texted my mom at lunch like “I’m going to the emergency room”. My mom told her coworkers this, and her boss’s son was like “OMG do you need to get off work to see him??? Is he ok???” And my mom’s coworker was just like “He works directly across the street from there, he’s probably just saying hi.” Also my dad texted my mom something along the lines of “if I was on the verge of death, I’d be dead by now.”

"High blood pressure is our body’s response to the environment and the structural stresses we navigate daily. The body reflects the constant accumulation of stressors and their impact as they become integrated into our daily lives. It is sad to think that we may not even be familiar with how our bodies feel without stress. High blood pressure can also be the body’s response to going against the grain, swimming against the current, and not going with the flow. If we are continually directing everything that goes on around us, we cannot flow. Being a perfectionist reflects on heart health. Trust in your heart, and let it lead you to where you are supposed to be. In cases of high blood pressure, I remind my clients to center rest. Rest is radical in a world that rewards productivity. Often we are overreaching, overachieving, and overcomplicating our lives instead of just being. In my practice I have seen many people with issues connected to the heart have jobs in leadership or activism roles that lead to the heart’s overextension. To heal, the heart takes conscious work to develop new patterns that instill rest, sitting still, and finding and connecting to pleasure instead of constantly pressing forward. I remind my clients of this simple notion, the notion of being. [...]

Stress-Free Tea

This tea recipe is a preventative to stressors, and it is a great tea to relax the nerves and calm the heart when needed. It can be taken at bedtime, although the herbs do not have strong sleepinducing properties. I drink this tea throughout the day while working on stressful deadlines or needing to center myself when dealing with a heavy workload. It is a beneficial formula when healing high blood pressure. Yield: 4 cups (940 ml)

2 tablespoons (4 g) dried linden flowers

1 tablespoon (2 g) dried rose

1 tablespoon (2 g) dried hawthorn leaves and flowers

1 tablespoon (3 g) dried chamomile flowers

1 tablespoon (3 g) dried rosemary Honey (optional)

Place all the ingredients in a 1-quart (1L) wide-mouth mason jar. Pour boiling water over the herbs and fill the jar. Let the herbs infuse for at least 25 minutes, then strain off the plant material. Retain the tea, and discard the plants, or add it to a bath or footbath. If you desire, sweeten your tea with honey and enjoy it throughout your day. When stored in the fridge, herbal tea can last for 2 days.

Contraindications: Work with a doctor to use hawthorn if you are on heart medication, have ulcers, or have colitis. Do not use sprayed roses, or hybrid roses without scent or soul. Avoid long-term use of linden flowers, or if the user is allergic to it's pollen. If using rosemary honey, during pregnancy, avoid in large doses. Chamomile has no contraindications. However it does not support the first trimester of pregnancy. Be careful if taking antianxiety or other calming medications. More than 2 cups (475 ml) of the infusion can act as an emetic (make you throw up)."

Feeling the Pressure

Exacerbated by lifestyle factors like poor diets and insufficient exercise, high blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common problem thought to affect around a third of us worldwide. Putting our organs under strain, persistent hypertension increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, along with impaired cognition and dementia. To better understand how hypertension impacts brain function, a recent study used a database of information from thousands of patients to investigate links between genetic data, blood pressure, properties of the brain and fluid intelligence, a measure of problem-solving and flexible thinking ability. Using MRI scans, researchers identified brain areas most affected by hypertension (pictured in yellow, with especially sensitive sections in red), and among these, areas in which blood pressure-related changes are associated with reduced cognitive function. Knowing which parts of the brain to target could facilitate the use of brain imaging to assess patients’ risk of developing dementia.

why does nobody represent physical illnesses?? I mean... Most people don't know what cerebral paralysis, epilepsy, etc are, and in the end laughing at it, or saying stupid and disrespectful things about it. I think we should spread awareness about physical illnesses, because they're hard to deal with alone, and also could lead to a mental illness. Please, someone, spread awareness about physical health...

2023 Recap

Over the past year my TOpoet.ca following blog shrank from 470 to 436! Sound like a loss but I did a major cull of followers who are no longer active on WordPress or who have never ‘liked’ a post.  The WordPress map show my hits have come from over 70 countries around the world. USA still tops the list but that Kenya & China are in the top 10 is a surprise. Singapore in the top 20. Still no hits…

No pictures, please

So, not gonna post a picture of this because it’s pretty gross, but I had an infection UNDER a callus on my big toe. Apparently, this is a thing. Apparently, this is a dangerous thing. The pocket of infection was very close to the bone. The doctor was like, you could lose your toe, or your foot. 

The way it works, according to the internet, is that the callus cuts off blood supply to the skin beneath it, causing an ulcer which can get infected. This is exacerbated by high blood sugar, which also affects your circulation and immune system. 

I’ve always had bad calluses on my feet, especially on my big toes. It never concerned me; never thought it was much more than an aesthetic issue. No foot modeling for me! 

Wrong.

The doctor dug out a big chunk of the callus and got the infection out. I’m not supposed to walk on it because every time you put pressure on the toe, it cuts blood supply, which then slows healing and lowers the amount of antibodies going there to fight the infection. I’ve ordered one of those knee scooter things, until it gets here, I’m hobbling on my heel like the Penguin on Gotham. 

If this doesn’t kick my ass into cutting the sugar and getting my (undiagnosed and untreated) diabetes under control and my blood pressure under control and getting my weight going back DOWN, then I’m not sure what will.
