MDJunction to me

jenniferdiva"MDJunction has been just an amazing support for me. The people who are on mdj are so nice! Unlike the many other support sites that I have been on. I have made several friends on mdj who are so supportive and so educated about mental illness. Of course non of us are doctors, but we certainly offer each other hugs, opinions, and advice. I have learned a great deal from my friends on mdjunction. I am also encouraging other people who suffer from mental illness to come on to MDJ. It can be a life line." (jenniferdiva)

They did a full blood test work up for CHF for me.

I was a bit concerned and couldn't sleep at all last night. So I answered questions in the Depression Group to keep me busy.

They will fax my Dr. the results today that include a pro-BNP for CHF and for liver failure too. They will e-mail me at my home PC also before 5 pm.

This is scary..but I know with my symptoms it had to be done. They also think I'm anemic , I dont think I am..but I will see the picture on the results today.

Kind of scared..but will be ok..

Hugs, Patty

Love and Peace, Patty

HI Patty

I hope these tests will be all good.

However, you need to see a cardiologist and get a complete workup to determine your real condition. The workup needs to include at least an ekg and an echocardiogram.

I cant have no more test, my husband will be driving for a new company..no ins for 90 days. So I got the Bl work done, still waiting on the pro-BNP..my lipid level all together was ok, but my triglyocrides were too high..and HDL was too low...so I'm waiting today to find out the rest of the blood work.

SOB all of the time, scared my lungs still have pneumonia ..just have to wit and see...

Hugs, Patty

Love and Peace, Patty
