    • About Me

      64, been a caregiver off and on for the past 17 yrs for one member of the family or the other and my health is suffering greatly. I retired to FL to have a good life on the beach and I so want that to happen. UPDATE: It has been 2 years since I signed onto this site, so age is different (Yuck) and I am still loving my retirement near the beach. Still not all I want it to be, but take what God gives me with a smile. :-)

    • Close High Blood Pressure

      Have suffered from hypertension for 30 years. First stroke at 36 if when I found out that there was even a problem. No major strokes since then, but a lot of medication combinations until we found something that would work. Had heart attack in Dec. 2006 partially due to hypertension. Take your medicines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Treatments

      Procardia XL Working / Worked
      The combination keeps my blood pressure on an even keel. So good to feel better
    • Open Caregivers

      OMG!!! Is there enough room? My 42 yr old daughter is a TBY survivor (7 years now) and she lives with me and sometimes I just think I cannot do this anymore and then I think, my God, I am so selfish. I had a heart attack during the 2006 Holidays and the DRs maintain that is was mostly due to stress. No kidding.
