    • About Me

      I am retired and am currently battling anxiety attacks, Premature Atrial Contractions (Heart) and dare I mention it.....Hemorrhoids and now something new....Asthma. I was taking Atenalol for the PAC's but that aggrivates Asthma so I am now off of Atenalol. This asthma seems to be my main focus now, since being able to breathe seems to be more important than whether I am anxious or not....ha!!

      From RubellaUmbrella February 1

      Hey, Randy...mind if I ask what the measurements were of your lesion? I'm in the stewing stage right now for my husband, and I'd love to hear more about yourself. We are the same age and deserve a medal just for surviving the dog eat dog world, not a setback as we prepare to unwind and enjoy! Have a good one, my friend~

    • Get Well Soon!

      From lovies54106 December 29, 2008

      Hi Randy, I was just reading your posts and was wondering the size of the lesion they biopsied of yours? Mine is 4.5mm which is like a fingernail so my Dr won't do anything. Thanks! Dawn

    • Present

      From Meadow2345 December 21, 2008

      the present is because you helped me so much.... and can't thank you enough. We definitely all go thru a lot because of health ... and know without it, it's downright the pits *s*. Let me know please how each thing is going, and hope each day gets better. Oh, one thing I forgot. When I was struggling with asthma, I read a book by Paul Sorvino, the actor. His son had terrible asthma and he incorporated in that books all the things that helped. What helped me most was very very very deep breathing exercises in the book. I'd bet it's somewhere online, like Ebay. I gave mine away, grrr... or I'd send it to you because I believe in it that much.

    • Close Anxiety

      Had anxiety attacks back in the 1970's and finally recovered from them. Now they are starting up again and I don't know why.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      I tried it in the past. Seems to help but don't like the drugged side effects.
    • Close Arrhythmias

      I have had Premature Atrial Contractions for over a year now and am currently taking Atenalol...that helps calm down the contractions.

    • Open Hemorrhoids

      Have had severe pain in the past but am doing pretty well now. Have added psyllium husks to my diet...along with stool softners and a glass of prune juice every evening before bed and this combination has helped more than anything.

      Treatments

      Preparation H Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes it is helpful but mostly it is not.
    • Open Lung Cancer

      Just found out I have a lesion on my lung and am going to have a biopsy done to find out if it is cancer or not.
