Well, I went to the doc today because yesterday the swelling got worse. The skin on my feet is so tight I can hardly touch my feet without them hurting major bad. They are huge. Anyways, did not get good news. Was told I was on the verge of getting CHF and if I did not lose weight ASAP, I could very well end up with the CHF very soon. I had a bunch of blood tests and xrays done today. I now have to go see a bariatric doctor May 27th to look into surgery. I am very overweight, and because of my conditions I am not able to exercise so this is the only option for me right now. I am not looking forward to it. I have talked with many people who had the surgery and it has been kind of even down the road, either it was an awesome success or major problems and complications. Please keep me in your thoughts. I am now taking the wonderful cow pill of potassium and a diuretic. I have to go back and see the doc April 30th for a recheck. I ended up crying through the appointment because it scared me, although I wanted to ask some more questions, but I could not stop the tears from rolling. It really scared me. I am only 36 and I have so many health problems now, this is the last thing I need. I just cant take anymore. I am about ready to quit going to the doctor because everytime I go, I come home with a new diagnosis of something or other. And then yet on top of it, they say I am not disabled. I just want to go curl up in a corner and not come out for a long time.   |
"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
