Meds seem to be making a little difference.
Friday, November 6, 2009
I started taking my new meds on Monday night and Tuesday morning. It's really too soon to tell how well they are working since it takes a week or two for medicines to fully take effect. Still, I'm noticing little differences. Like the other day when I burnt my toast... a "normal" response for me would be the urge to SI but instead I was able to brush it off and... -

I had a medicated stent inserted 01/25/09. 99% blockage.I was told afterward that I also had an 80% blockage and would need another stent in 90days. I was on Plavix, Atenolol,Lipitor,and 325mg bayer aspirin and patches to quit smoking. I ripped the patches off and quit cold turkey. I've used alternative medicine for the last 35yrs. Not so much as a headache in my adult life. The Plavix made m...2 Recommendations -

Wednesday, November 4, 2009
I have to say, I haven't done very well with either of my new goals. When I rest, I don't get the housework done and I feel really guilty about that. I haven't even been putting forth much of an effort to exercise either this week. I feel like a failure sometimes when I sit down and be honest about those goals...
However, I am not as depressed as I was a week ago or t...4 Comments -

I went to my appointment today and was prescribed trazadone and wellbutrin. We will see how this works out. I think I remember taking wellbutrin before but I don't remember why it was changed. I'm hoping this will go well.
I'm scheduled to go in for a flu shot at my workplace tomorrow. Now, since I'm going to be starting the wellbutrin in the morning, I'...1 Comment -

Coronary Heart Disease Information
Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic heart disease, is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart). While the symptoms and signs of coronary heart disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary heart disease show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arise. After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood flow to the heart muscle. The disease is the most common cause of sudden death.
