COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

oh no lyn . sending love and best wishes your way

Thanks John - feel Ok in myself but my hands don't feel like mine - they are slightly less painful today though

 

[Lyn W]

Hey Lyn, long time no see! Hope your hands are better but man! That sounds like something really weird! I hope you can get with good rheumatologist and immunologist, those are best diagnosticians. What you describe sounds like something that calls for much more than antihistamine and pain meds. I'm concerned about the pain/numbness/tingling. Please don't put off getting this checked asap. Sending you hugs from this hot Texas

I hope you're feeling better @Lyn W. That sounds awful

Thanks Ewa and Joes Mum I managed to get an emergency appointment late this pm and I have to have blood tests next week - I'll probably be better by then but best to make sure nothing more serious happening!

I was told it's not all that uncommon and that the success rate is high.
The new meds that he gave me already knocked my pulse down from 182 at 11 am to 96 at 5 pm.
Now, I'm chilly and have blankets on me. I've never been cold in my life. I like it!

I feel much better and it looks like this new doc knows his stuff so in the next few weeks, maybe I can get my old life back.

Great news! I'm glad you are feeling better Ed, and that they are going to be able to do something for you. What sounds like scary ops are pretty routine for the surgeons these days- they could do them with their eyes shut - although I'm sure they won't!!

so relieved to hear

They just make a few holes in you and slide a tiny camera and the electrodes into your heart.
They're not gonna cut me open like a catfish.
That's only if there are complications....

which there will not be!! I thought you had to be opened up, thank goodness that isn't the case. I actually had heart surgery when I was born. i had a murmur, lucky keyhole surgery worked and they didn't have to crack me open either. they went in through my leg.

I just got In from the cardio doc.
Because of my 40 year history with this ailment that gets worse over time, he is nearly certain that it is an electrical signal from my brain that is at fault.
I have a stress test scheduled for next Wednesday to rule out an arterial issue and then I'll be getting a surgical procedure that involves placing electrodes into some arteries and moving to the effected area(s) of the heart and burning the pathways.
There is a remote chance that this could fail and I'll wake up with a pacemaker.
But the fact that I could be 100% cured of this crap is too great to pass up on.
This from a man who six months ago was in pretty good health......

Wishes for a VERY speedy recovery Ed.

Dear Ed,


Gillian and Oli!

Those meds have worked quickly, thankfully. Snuggle up to an armadillo for warmth and comfort. Take it easy

Yesterday it was torrential rain here, garden started flooding, 6 inches and raising, so had to bring torts inside, made an enclosure in the conservatory with the help of a fire gauge, not ideal but I had to go out and wanted them to be safe. Got home about 11pm and they had snuggled in the tray of topsoil I'd left for them so they stayed there until this morning, they are now back outdoors as I have pumped the water out of the garden and the sun is shining
