Dearest Friends. Sorry I haven't been in touch recently, but in April I was diagnosed with cancer. It has been a rough time. Between the surgery I developed very bad bed sores. I was also moved from one rehab center to another. The first center I had a very very bad bed sore. I had to be taken back to the hospital. They had to open my wound and clean it up. I was then switched to another reha...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Well, my insulin finally ran completely out. I've been out of the short-acting insulin for quite awhile and have been trying to make the long acting insulin last by taking much less dosage than I'm supposed to and only taking it every other day-the result-I feel like death. I don't even know how to put into words how exhausted and sick I feel. It makes all of the pai...1 Recommendation -

Angina Information
Angina pectoris is chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood and hence oxygen supply) to the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Coronary artery disease, the main cause of angina, is due to atherosclerosis of the cardiac arteries. The term derives from the Greek ankhon ("strangling") and the Latin pectus ("chest"), and can therefore be translated as "a strangling feeling in the chest".
Worsening ("crescendo") angina attacks, sudden-onset angina at rest, and angina lasting more than 15 minutes are symptoms of unstable angina (usually grouped with similar conditions as the acute coronary syndrome). As these may herald myocardial infarction (a heart attack), they require urgent medical attention and are generally treated as a presumed heart attack.
See more Angina Information.
