Hi, 1st Thanks for letting me join!  11/dec/06 I had a heart attack whilst suffering with a bad bout pleurisy, ( for the 4th time in 06 ), which left me with a partially collapsed lung, fluid in the other lung. As I suffer with PTSD, Anxiety/ Stress & Panic Attacks. I have been lucky to have a Doctor that prefers to treat in the community rather than hospitalise, after some results from blood tests ( Kidney & Liver still pending ) too high Platelets, Fat & Triglycerides! other results have confirmed ' very underactive ' Thyroid ( whatever very is  ) leaving me with Hypothyroidism, Diabetes type2, Coronary & Congestive heart failure. For about 7 yrs I have suffered unconfirmed Angina, ( due to anxiety hospital fear ), which has now been confirmed! |

Thanks Juicy,  I am trying to use as much PMA as possible, plus my wife, Tracy, as been as true to her ID as possible ( Heart of Gold ) I would be lost forever without her  . I think my biggest hurdle is accepting what has happened to me, & adjusting from a 40 + yr old generally healthy & active lifestyle, to this really slowed down as i call it, " 0 - just about get going eventually ", lol , new person. I know that there is a certain amount of depression & i'm awaiting treatment ( after they have stabalised what they can ), But I am sure I will get ' there ', by continuing to be positive! |

Hi all, Sorry I havn't been around much lately, you could say I been sharing myself with the Docs & Hospital. Hope you are all doing well.  Update on my illnesses as of date: Angina, Coronary & Congestive Heart Failure, Scarred & fluid on lungs, Scarred kidneys, Bright Liver, Non alchaholic, Hypothyroidism, A.I.D.S. ( Auto immune defiency syndrome ) Diabetes type 2 ( tablets & diet ) Depression. With all the tests I am beginning to feel like a ' lab rat ' lol, plus I think my Docs have a pet vampire or they are selling my blood to a ' black pudding factory '   |

Hi all, remember me ? LOL. Hope you are all well (or should I say " as well as to be expected " ) Sorry I havn't been back lately, been really busy with Docs, Hospitals & Opticians etc. ( Diabetes playing my eyes up, I am on 4th pair of glasses since Jan 2007 , even had to give up driving lessons for nearly 3 mnths till eyes settled down  Plus I got awarded DLA ( hey no suprises there then lol ), so have also been busy trying to get my driving tests passed, so I can use my car instead of it being a ' big ornament ' at the front of house lol. Update on my illnesses as of date: Angina, Coronary & Congestive Heart Failure, Scarred & fluid on lungs, am now on inhalers, twice a day plus when needed. Scarred kidneys, Bright Liver, Non alchaholic, Hypothyroidism, ( which has just this last month balanced out with the medication ) A.I.D.S. ( Auto immune defiency syndrome ) Diabetes type 2 ( tablets & diet ) & Diabetes Insipid. Clinical Depression. Arthritis in shoulder & Cervical Spondylosis. My medication list reads like an epic.  A mate asked the other day is that what that rattles is, i replied not guilty i can't move fast enough to rattle them lol  I tell everyone: my feet are ok though lol Chris.. |

np. sorry to hear about your hosp. stays, Ruby_680 nothing too serious I hope? I think a lot of peeps not been too well lately with all the ' bugs 'n' things going around. I'm thinking of doing a 'Michael Jackson' ,& get an oxygen tent to hide from our kids, lol . Things here are very much the same as last post ( 08/02/2008 ). Still waiting trying to build 'confidence' to go for driving test,( even though instructor has said " your normal everyday driving is beyond excellence, I would even say its better than my driving & you won't get much more praise than that ". The docs seem to have left me alone up until last wk. requests for full bloods & a cpl of new tests. Take care all! |
