MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Cardiologist Appt.

Jun 15 2011
Met with the cardiologist this a.m. My Doppler ultrasound showed that my right sided heart pressures have decreased. My doc said my heart was still pumping hard, but he felt it was due to my liver problemsnot any heart issues. My edema in my feet and ankles is probably just due to my liver problems as well. All in all, he was pleased with my heart and felt it was in good shape when and if I needed a liver transplant. I don't have to see him until December.
