Thanks, I will take care, with the bone china and the spices. Glad that you are both ok. I cannot remember a time when I was asleep at this time, it must be around the time of my last heart attack and I was in hospital, tucked up in my sideroom (rank hath privelage) 8) either that or the ward staff wanted me out of the way :shock:

tjt6768

Last one :shock: :shock: How many you had??? :???:

and 7 angioplasty's

tjt6768

Is that all :shock: :shock: :shock: :!: :!:
You really are having all the fun eh?
Does that mean 7 stents then? If so, what life-span did they say they had...? My Dad had two put in over 20 yrs ago and I am sure they told him 10yrs... He has been very ill for the past few yrs but won't let mi Mum call the ambulance... Think he had another heart attack a week ago sunday, he'd been drinking heavily again :roll: Told Mum he'd walk out if she rang 999 :x :x

I have had 2 stents, they are both now blocked, after less than 10 years, 2 angio balloons, that worked for a while. The rest were re-checks for any further problems. 4 femoral, 1 brachial and 2 radial, so I am well and truly punctured. My cardiologist calls me his veteran of angioplasty's, the first one I was in my early 30's. I have the same consultant and he is just fantastic, I have all my trust in him and he is so supportive.
It is very difficult with loved ones who will not ask for an ambulance, no real answer, when someone refuses point blank. We used to come across it many times on the wards, when patients insisted they discharge themselves and the next you hear, is they are on their way back again, having collapsed. Any chest pain that lasts over 15 minutes and is not relieved with GTN, then it is a 999 job. I have been on a blue light with the sirens going.

so apart from heart disease, unstable angina, cervical and lumbar spondylosis, osteophytosis, radiculopathy, osteoarthritis - gouty arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, fybromyalgia, bilateral cervicobrachial neuropathy, probable chronic obstructive airways disease, depression and long term anxiety, I am FINE.

I had forgotten all the above, but had to list them on the blue badge renewal form the other day, felt quite poorly after writing all them down.

tjt6768

Well you are going for the record then hun? Lol

My Dad is that bloody stubborn he will not use the GTN because

it gives me a headache

:shock: :shock: :x :x We have all tried to explain that a headache is better than being dead and he could always take some paracetamol.. Besides, I know myself that the headaches don't last that long..... I get so bloody angry with him... :roll:

I think I am. Yep, it does, briefly, but, as you say, that is way better than leaving angina to worsen, sometimes the arteries go into spasm, mine do, even at rest, so I have to use it at odd times of day, just one of those things.
When they give you GTN direct into your artery, that is one hell of an instant headache I can tell you.

tjt6768

I bet it is.... Take more than a couple of paracetamols to rid you of that one eh? Lol

In 2004 I started with angina type symptoms, they did an adenoside (??) test, basically the stress test but with injections as I ain't fit for a treadmill, lol... It came back ok, they sent me home after a week while I was having chest pains... So I went back a week later still suffering, they eventually did an angiogram, all the arteries were clear.. Was basically told it was in my head and to go away...
So since then I have regular stellate ganglion injections to stop the pains, the pain specialist seemed to be the only one willing to do anything about them... The stellates work well though..

Hi Bubbles

Wow, that's quite a list :!: :shock: You always sound so cheerful on here, and I had no idea that you had so many health problems. You always seem so positive, so well done! I'm full of admiration for some of you people who have so much to cope with.

Hi Joan love, hope you are as ok as possible. Well, it's a list of things I know, but, you have to keep pottering. I try and keep positive, although it is damned hard sometimes. OH tells me off for doing too much, but, do I listen, do I heck. I get upset at times and really down, or ratty, for no reason, feel like throwing all the pills in the bin, but then sense takes hold again and I come out of it.
The work and pensions will be asking if I am fit for work later this year, as a routine - that will wind my consultant and GP up into a frenzy, things like that really upset me, when someone in an office, who knows nothing of how you live and try and cope, decides that you need a medical to prove that you are not fit for work. I had such a fight last year, as people on here know, with the disability offices, but, I won my argument in the end.

Stellates seem to work well Tony, glad they help you and glad that things are ticking away ok.

bubbles

HI pamie, hope you are ok, sending hugs and T and cakes and goodies.

the worst treadmill test was the radioactive isotope one, would not, well, could not, have another one of those, ever again, of all the tests and angio's and such like, that one still haunts me. I get femoral pain if I talk about the angio's, but the radioactive one, that freaked me out.
