why do I stagger? fall down?

[Guest guest]

IN MY CASE........lol

I have done drugs since I was 10.

I am now 58.

First it was cigs and pot, then alcohol, heroin [needle], opium, LSD, downers, uppers, psychedelics, all sorts of stuff, including glue, paint, bubble bath beads, cough syrup, CO2.

I forget what all. I was a real Hippy, anything for a buzz.

I was a rock musician from 1965 until 1980, on stage at nights, carpenter during the days.

I quit everything but pot by 1980 when I got blown up in the house in Oklahoma.

I discovered my mortality!!!!!!!

But then I had another set of problems.

My eardrums were ruptured, balance gone, hearing damaged [explosion and loud music].

My eyes damaged from shrapnal, [depth preception loss].

My back and neck were broken in a half dozen places.

I got put on pain and headmeds for PTSD, bi-polar, suicide, depression, sleep, etc.

I did pain meds, headmeds, and pot from 1980 until 2008.

Im still on headmeds for PTSD, sleep, and the occasional pain med.

[i have cut way back to slow liver damage now that Im aware of such.]

My body gave out sometime around 1990, and I didnt workout like I had been, so I got weak.

Since 2003 I havent been able to walk much at all.

I got diagnosed with COPD in 2003. [lungs]

I got diagnosed with CHF in 2005. [heart]

I got diagnosed with HCV in 2008. [liver]

I never ate right, or treated my body right, because I never thought disease would strike me down, I was going to live forever.

I had a lot of fun, but how stupid I was.

Today Im still alive [i think. lol], but got lots of problems that I hope I can reverse somewhat.

I think I can, altho I will never be 100% again.

So I stagger, fall down, wobble, you know, the fun stuff. lol

Whats your excuse?

love

I have HCV for some time with a low viral load... I thought it was the hep c that was causing my pains after running or working out at night time I would get these excruciating muscle spasms.. I did something really simple ... eat a banana at night and stretch the muscles that were causing the issues. Now I do NOT wake up to muscle spasms at all. Hope this helps. STRETCH and bananas(potassium) and I take a calcium/magnesium supplement Good Luck,Henry>> Hi..> > Was wondering what do we do for the excruciating muscle pain of the virus. I have no viral load but still many symptoms. Do these symptoms last a lifetime? If so, I would rather be dead than endure this pain constantly daily and

nightly.> Please help.> Thank you, > Pooderdog>
