how many of us that have heart disease, have other health issues as well, disease, chronic illness, any sort of illness. I was just curious and would like you to list them if you don't mind, because I then want to turn it into another conversation. I'll start with just a few because I would have to write a book to name all of them. Here goes: I am an insulin dependent diabetic, have systemic lupus, coronary artery disease and have 2 stents, COPD, Hypertension (high Blood pressure), A fib, costochondritis, cervical spinal stenosis, migraine headaches, sleep apnea, bowel diseases (3) and lots more. Can you tell me if you have anything else that you suffer from and if it is something uncommon, could you tell us a little about it?

Thank you for your cooperating and look forward to your answers.

Hugs~

Christine

Christine, sorry about my slow response but I've been away from home for a few days.

Other than the heart disease I have hypothyroid disease and Parkinson's Disease. The Parkinson's is, by far, the one that bothers me the most on a daily basis.

Thank you for answering, I truly appreciate it. Sorry to hear though that you struggle everyday with your Parkingson's Disease. I don't know a lot about parkinsons, only, to be honest is that you shake terrible. If you are up to it, can you give ne a short explanation?

Hope your days away from home were good ones, and not medically based : - )

Your good friend,

Christine

The trips were several. My wife and I maintain a booth at several art festivals during the Summer months.

I tend not to discuss my Parkinson's Disease symptoms much online (it depresses people, lol) but you might want to read my very earliest MDJ diary entries.

feen, it looks like the first part of your message got messed up. I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Did you also have a question?

Steve
