Any One Else In Such a Mess At 47??? Posted: 01-09-04 23:56pm
Hello every one
i'm only 47, and have chronic asthma,
depression permenant c.O.A.D chronic
sinusitus, emphysema, osteoperosis in my
back and ribs, thus causing rib fractures
just about every time I cough (
I have about 5 at the moment !) I am in
constant pain day in night out,...Have
been on so many meds it would make your
head spin had
to have a total hysterectomy at 33, and
cannot take hrt as i'm allergic to it (ha!
Trust me) I know i'm dying a
slow and painful one !! But the other
day my 74yr old mom was also diagnosed
with emohysema...
Just wondering if anyone else out there is
in such a mess ! Or if anyone could
offer any advice ??? I always try to
keep my chin-up as I believe there is
always someone worse off than yourself !!
Thank you for listening, shirley :d

My problems aren't as severe as yours, but
i'm a mess at 51. I have had a silent
heart attack, which left me with mitral
regurgitation and reduced ability to do
anything strenuous. I have allergies to
cats, molds, dust, and most pollens, so
i'm reacting all year even on multiple
allergy meds. I have asthma, triggered
by...My allergies, of course. I have
chronic sinusitis and high blood pressure.
I have urethral polyps...And getting
those checked every year is not fun. I
have gastroesophageal reflux from all the
coughing. I have diabetes, well
controlled by a strict diet. Finally, I
have some yet-undiagnosed liver
inflammation, not hepatitis a, b, c, or d,
causing elevated liver enzymes.

I'm only 26 and have a world of problems
myself. The only thing I can thank god
for is that none of them are fatal! I
suffer from constant headaches, sometimes
they are migraines, sometimes tension, and
sometimes sinus. I have chronic sinus
problems that partially stem from
sensitive sinuses and a deviated septum,
but mostly from the yearly allergies that
I have. (sounds like we have the same
allergies shirley). I am on shots for
them, but haven't seen too much of a
result yet. I have gerd, a very
sensitive stomach and am also lactose
intollerant. Let's see.. Oh I also have
bad feet and chronic tendonitis and
bursitis in my hip and shoulder. Wow
we're a amess! (at least I am anyway).
I also have high cholesterol, but i'm not
worried too much about that because I have
no other risk factors and everyone in my
family who has had high cholesterol is
either alive and healthy, or died of other
causes than heart problems. I've had
most of my problems for the better part of
my life so I have pretty much adapted to
them by now. Every now and then several
things act up at once and that is when I
am most misearble. Sometimes I don't
notice any of them on good days.
Otherwise I always keep ibuprofen on hand,
but even then I don't like taking meds
unless I have to because constant use can
give you a dependcy on it.. Even over the
counter..
