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 Embarassed ( 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 Laughing had to have a total hysterectomy at 33, and cannot take hrt as i'm allergic to it (ha! Trust me) Mad 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..

Numerous, Seemingly Unrelated Problems

You can probably fix most of your problems if you:

1. Buy this book: 'the allergy and asthma cure" by fred pescatore, md (wiley, 2003) it's available at many bookstores, about $25; cheaper on the 'net.

2. Read it thoroughly.

3. Follow pescatore's directions.

Conventional approaches to your problems have failed you. This will greatly help. Good luck.
