A Bit About Myself

I am a 42 year old who, because of chronic illness has gone back to school as I am not able to do the work I did before I became disabled. It is amazing how some people just get hit with every disease in the book as I have. I suffer from Diabetes, Asthma, Pulmonary Hypertension, Spinal Stenosis, Arthritis, Gout, CHF, Cardiomyopathy, and most importantly, which I want to mention here, is Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (Nerve Damage To The Heart), of which puts me at a much higher risk of sudden cardiac death. I wanted to post this, so that all the others here, as diabetics will ask his or her doctor to do an "Ansar" or "Anscore" test so that he or she can be checked for this very serious diabetic complication. I have one done once a year and if I can help by passing on my own medical information in order to protect others, I will have done my job.

Oh he's doing great now just trying my last nerve!! HA! No he has heart trouble that was inhareted from his mom bless her she finally passed of cancer but she had Diabetes Type 2 (although now after finding so many Type 1.5's I think that's what she really had but wasn't diaganosed at that time she passed like 15 years ago) heart problems, and cancer. That poor lady passed in a whole lot of pain before she passed. I remember they had her on a morphine pump which at that time was new and she was really taking a high dose of it. Don't ask how much she was on but I can tell you that when anyone hit it her eyes would roll into the back of her head and for like 15 minutes before her next dose she talked nonstop nonsence! My mom passed 5 years ago from pancreadic cancer, that was really sad to watch too!
