Q: 35 Yr Old Mom W Cad,pad, Diabetis,etc Help!

I need to know if any one has the websites for the mayo clinic or the cleveland heart institute. I am 35 and have 2 young boys and also raising my 17 yr old sister because our mom died from cad 4 1/2 yrs ago. The doctors say that there is nothing more that they can do for me, no more surgeries. I have had [since aug 2004] 2 pad surgeries on my right leg, a triple bypass an my heart, a wound vac put on surgicaly because my chest literally popped open. I just had a heart attack [mild] for the first time so they say because it was mild that my heart muscle is still good. My husband is not taking the docs diagnosis too well. He doesnt even want to came home because he feels that they told him that he is only going to watch me die. I am not ready to die! I want to make life hell for my kids first, you know. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. If anyone has the websites or know of any new treatments that may help me. Or simply to talk to me and let me know that I am not alone. Thank you.

I feel really sad for you. I am currently 25 and pregnant witrh 1st child and suffering from angina which seems to have no cause. I am convinced I wont watch my baby grow up and I love my husband so much that I cannot imagine us being apart. Some days I just feel empty and completely alone like I have to just get up in the morning and focus on getting through that day and nothing I do means a thing. I have made alot of mistakes with my health in the past and I feel I am paying now or that I am supposed to be some kind of example. I just pray that god has a reason for all of this and that maybe it will benefit someone sometime.

I think you look like a perfect case for god. Just call out the name "jesus" and he will help you.

If you don't want to die, don"t. The mind, and possitive thinking does wonders for a sick body.

All I can say is don't

god bless you

ps. By the way I was 25 when I got cervical cancer, pid, urithitis and a few others. I was 33 when I started having heart pains, too young for hearts disease they said. But low and behold 22 episodes when I was 41 and acute miocardial infarction. Full blown heart attack. Clogged artery cad.
2001 39 years old severe spinal injury--no surgery just live with half paralized legs and severe pains, diagnosed chronic pain--disabled.
Not counting all the others diabeties, high blood pressure, hiatial hernia, fibrocystic breasts, severely high cholesterol, and I am not going to die. No way I refuse. I have children and grandchildren to help raise.

I was 33 when I had my first heart attack. Since then i've had four others to go with it as well as being diagnosed with diabetes and asthma. I currently work four jobs just to keep my meds current. Sure I feel down sometimes but i'm a firefighter and have saved many lives in the last six years so I see some purpose to staying around just a little longer. When my time is up and I have no more lives to save then the job will be passed on to someone else. The thing is you must be positive about the future no matter how bleak it looks.

Here is the cleveland heart institutes web addy www.Clevelandclinic.Org
and the mayo clinic is www.Mayoclinic.Com

God bless you firemansam--everywhere I go I yell out, hi firemans-- I love firemen, they made my kids so happy when they were little. I would say hi firemans for them, and that was like 23 years ago, but it just stuck.

Yeah I answered your insurance question, and here I meet you again.

I am also a walking miracle in the fact ive been thru all this and I am expecting a baby with no uterus. It is the answer to a promise god gave me 18 years ago.Just shortly after they removed a cancerous uterus.

Keep in touch with us k??
