Just Had Cardiac Ablation, still problems, Stroke

[dwb653]

Since march 09 I have had SSS, Pacemaker, Stroke, two or more Heart attacks, un-explained heart failure,  cath-ablation, and residuals from stroke. At 54 years Sept 30 my med ins ran out, SS says if I were a little closer to my DEATH BED they might could help. I'm hopeing the ablation works, My Drs. up to now are sticking by me (on the bills) but I'm getting nowhere on the "left arm weakness and pain in my hand." For a couple of weeks after the ablation "9-16-09", I was on high doses of blood thinners that did help some with arm. B P and heart rate still unstable. BP 155-88/ 108-58 with pulse of 69-135 while resting. Yeap I am messed up. Hope to see Dr today. thanks!

I'll keep you in my prayers too.  So many people are having to go without insurance now. I'm really worried, because it seems to be the large insurance companies and Big Pharma against the people of this country, who only want decent health coverage, some basic respect for them as people who are sick and hurting, and  reasonable prices.

Having lived overseas for awhile, I have a hard time understanding the greed and corruption in our country in regard to health care. And one thing people here aren't told is that even in countries overseas that have part public and part private insurance, the private health insurers are always nonprofit.  By law, they can't make over 5% or so. The rest goes into a fund for future patient care. So there are no greedy CEOs, and  no one is turned away either. So sad here. No wonder the U.S. is ranked so low in health care around the world.

So sorry to read of the extreme difficulties you have been going trough, and continue to suffer from.  It doesn't help, but as I read I realize how simple my heart problems really are.

I read you have been given the best medicine has to offer.  We can all pray that you will get better.  You are too young to give up. Somehow you must get better.
