Upcoming Chat Schedule

Ace inhibitors (or ARBs) are standard treatment for post MI patients. These medicines can cause the serious side effects of edema, or fluid retention. This tends to be chronic, but is an emergency for some who have just started this medicine.

I have had an MI, or heart attack but cannot continue to take these meds, until my cardio has a chance to convince me of their value in helping me (us) live longer!

I would like to hear Delta or anyone else that has found a better, but still as strong as Lasix, diuretic. I have not taken Lasix for long, but I seem to remember that it could affect your hearing. I do get good BP control with a beta blocker and Lasix, but my hearing seems off a tad (HUUH)

Just trying to help myself and in so doing, may help another :)

Great suggests RJ and Wanda, I have included them on the schedule.  Thank you! Elisha https://www.healingwell.com/donate  

Hey guys...I hope those of you that made it to chat had a nice one?  I'm sorry I missed it   .  I had alittle accident and ended up in the ER with a broken ankel and didnt get home until after 10pm.  Hope everyone is doing well... Elisha https://www.healingwell.com/donate  

 Hi everyone, i was so bummed out that i missed the last chat, now i am wondering who showed up, hate to admit it but i am sort of glad, i was feeling sad about not being there, great topic els, why don't you do that one again, maybe noone was there.  hope your doing better by now.later

Thank you everyone for your concern.  Me breaking my ankle was rather stupid really, as I was carrying a computer and lost my balance and fell backwards...in my attempt not to drop the computer it ended up landing on my left ankle.  It did hurt pretty bad for the first few hours but then my leg went numb thankfully to my MS.  I have 2 small fractures of the ankle bone and have one of those really cute black boots they now give you to wear.  I also ended up with a 6 inch cut on my ankle from the computer landing on it so it wasnt my day... Anyway, I have edited the chat schedule to include the topics we have missed in the next coming chat dates.  If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them.

Ah Elisha, I am so sorry to hear about how you broke your ankle. I think that has to do with the nature of your illness........? You need someone to help you with things like that! BTW how is your Mother doing? Fine I really hope.

Have a great weekend (sitting around with your bad leg propped up)....Rent a bunch of movies and pig out on popcorn and other junk, lol.

My future son in law's Mother died yesterday. She was 51, a nurse and had taken the diet pill called phen-phen (sp?). It had damaged the valves in her heart. She was working up until she died. Her death came out of the blue. My daughter and grandson had just spent a week with her in Louisiana. She just fell in love with Sebastian, my 8 year old grandson, and he felt the same about her.

My daughter's fiancée is/was in Afghanistan. A chopper picked him up out in no man's land and he is headed home.

Take care of your Mother please. Damaged heart valves can take you at any time. It is a very, very serious condition. As you know, they can cause a blood clot at any time.

Say hello to your Mom for me and tell her this story. They are going to perform an autopsy. She was part of a class action lawsuit against the drug manufacturer.

Hope your poor ankle is being good and not paining you :) (that's hillbilly talk, lol)

I was in chat for about 30 minutes and noone showed up.  Do you all want to continue with having scheduled chats?  Post your ideas and comments...if enough members want to continue with chat then we will keep it going.  Please let me know.  Thanks Elisha https://www.healingwell.com/donate  

 oddly enough i just tried to get on the chat site and i cannot get there by pushing the chat button. something is up, i was able to do it earlier, maybe it is jammed. huh??

Hi everyone...Since we have only have one member interested in participating in scheduled chats at this time I am going to cancel the one for August 28 and hold off for any future ones.  If any of you decide you do want to have a forum chat night let me know and we can organize it or restart them...but at this time there just isnt enough people participating.  Thank You Sorry Dreamy...I know you so look forward to them Elisha https://www.healingwell.com/donate   Post Edited (els) : 8/22/2006 9:50:02 AM (GMT-6)
