Re: The wait and see blues...doo doo wah...

For Goodness Sakes! Deanna, Don't you just love it when docs say you have to "wait it out"? NOT.

The little dears. I have to wait until next week to find out if what I suspect is true, and that is that

I have congestive heart failure. I've been suspecting it for some time, now, but these latest tests

would seem to confirm it. There is no blockage in the arteries, no kidney problem, no apparent reason for fluid retention around my lungs, etc. and yet...I have a heart muscle that is not performing

up to par, is enlarged and overworking itself just to keep up, and fluid build up all over my body. No

high BP, and no kidney problems. What's left is either a BIG mystery, or heart failure. I can't find

anything else to account for it in all my research. So, next Tuesday's appointment may be more

enlightening than I like, but at least I'll have some answers. If he gives me the run around, I may seek

a second opinion like you. So, that's where it is right now. I pray for you and your problems. You

know, I had all that rash jazz, too, and it turned out to be Lupus related, but an autoimmune response

deep in the derma to something that triggered a histamine reaction in my body. Once we tried a

stronger version of Allegra for my insides and Bag Balm to heal the lesions outside, I started to improve dramatically. You might try that combination. Thinking of you, MM

Why can't we be like machine. Our parts break, they get replaced and we're like new again. When our parts get outdated, we just upgrade them and that's it.

Mojo, Wouldn't that be nice? I always hoped by this time in my life, they would have diagnostic tools just like on Star Trek, where they could just wave this electronic wand and know immediately

what is wrong, and fix it. Ah well, fantasies, I do have a rich fantasy life. LOL Love you, MM
