well I am 2 years out from thyroid cancer.... will find out in about a month if everything looks ok there... its the rest of my body that has been failing me now


for almost 2 years now I have been suffering from vertigo and dizziness and nausea... they all come and go and have at least 1 med with them

I have a Benign Brain Cyst about the size of a sugar cube in my brain inoperable
I have Hypertension and high blood pressure
frequent Migraines
am Overweight ... way overweight
have osteoarthritis (bone spurs and such)
Have Otosclerosis (bones in middle ear calcified together) and have had mechanical pistons installed in my ears so i can hear

for some reason I also have Major Depressive Disorder.
I am seeing a Shrink and of corse he desired it was time to try a different anti-depressant but first I have to be weaned off then completely off the old one..... (it has been 1 week completely off anti-depressants)

I have bad knees (from before i put on a lot of the weight but the weight doesn't help)

about 2 1/2 weeks ago I had a chest pain scare supposedly it looks like it was just an anxiety attack but I have noticed that my right leg goes all tingly since then and i know it has lost some strength

then of cores I had my weekend friday night i took my wife to the drive in for a date night ( i cant handle large groups of people,10 or more, so if i want to see a movie its on TV or in a drive in)

Saturday morning I woke with wheezing and coughing fits so by Saturday evening my wife decided it was time for another ER TRIP... well looks like i can add Broncho-spasm's and bronchitis to the list... oh and i need to see my doctor on Tuesday morning (cant to it earlier cause of memorial day weekend)

all in all I am on 23 different prescribed medicines just to keep me going. 2 1/2 years ago all i ever needed was a multivitamin.

had had 5 major surgeries (in the past 2 1/2 years)
2 MRI's
8 Cat Scans
3 radioactive Iodine scans
20 chest x-rays
3 shoulder x-rays (right side)
8 leg x-rays (each)
5 foot x-rays (right only)

I feel like my body is worn out and i'm only 41... really should have gotten a longer warranty on my body.
