CHF - tame congestive heart failure

Congestive Heart Failure can occur to just about anyone sooner or later, but here are some things I wish our health providers had enough time to explain.

The first of a series on RED flags

How to recognize subtle and not so subtle signs that you may be in or about to enter into a seriously flawed relationship.

Second in a series on RED flags

Are you or someone you know in a dangerous relationship?  Did it start out seeming too good to be true and now seems like a nightmare? Keep watching. More on how to recognize situations that sneak into our lives.  Disclaimer: Regardless of whether you experience thie topics  in this video from your partners actions or you are not sure if it's YOU (usually it is not..) , please seek advice an or counsel from a trusted person  for support and  an honest point of view.

Part Three of Red Flags in a Relationship

2 rules and 5 major red flags.  Don't lose your own identity in the mire of subtle and not so subtle emotionsl, psychological and verbal abuse.  



Overview of Personality Disorders

Welcome to my overview on Personality disorder. Ever wonder why a personal just keeps doing the same damaging things to destroy their lives and relationships.? In my series Red Flags in Relationships, I realized that many of the most difficult people are suffering from a Personality Disorder.. So I thought learning about these could give us insight into what is happening and a way to cope and or help a person with these problems.  

Part two: Signs of Personality Disorders

Key signs to look for that MAY indicate a personality disorder and very likely shows at the very least signs of emotional difficulties.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissism Personality Disorder can be very serious.  A narcissist can just be someone with the traits of a narcissist like Grandious ideas and beliefs about themselves, an immense need for attention and admiration, shallow or superficial relationships and a lack of empathy for others.  The most serious of all of these is the inability to have empathy for others because when a person does not care or understand the feelings of others, they don't mind hurting them.  

Sometimes we just want to keep those memories locked up

As long as you continue to react to the memory, keeping is "locked up" is an illusion.  Unlock PTSD.

Why is our health system so broken?

In case you are wondering how the latest doctors were raised, I recommend these videos.  You have to laugh to keep from crying.

I started with just making a support group on Facebook

A little about what I have been up to and how to manage a complicated life. Nothing that has happened in the last few years has gone like I was told it would.  I am supposed to be a crumpled up mess. Taking more and more medications to have a "normal" life.  To be honest, I can't exactly grocery shop, but I am getting close.  It's a matter of endurance building at this point.  A balance between too much and massive spasms or too litlle and wasting away.  I'd rather have the spasms, partly because they are not so massive anymore.  I keep getting slowly better so I am going to open an office to help others.

How to have a Better Office Visit

Do you go to the doctor thinking you are prepared and leave and realize you forgot half of your concerns and the other half seem insufficently addressed?  Here are some tips to help you along.  

My Journey with Stiff Person syndrome

Stiff Person Syndrome? What the Heck is that!!??

My doctor whispered the test request to his scribe quickly.  Maybe he hoped I didn't catch it.  I did and I had never heard of it.  All of medical school, Residency and training, and not once had I heard of this monster that was in my life.

The RED flags

How strange.  I couldn't sleep in.  Even if I wanted to, I woke up stiff and my head hurt and my legs were in spasms.  The ONLY way to get through the day was to get out of bed and start moving.

Exhaustion

Looking back, it felt as if every move I made was like going upstream on the lazy river. All day long, I would trudge through until at night I would collapse into bed and sleep without moving the entire night - no wonder I was stiff...



The worst headache of my life

Hey guys! If you are having the worst headache of your life, you should go to the emergency room.  Do as I say, not as i did.  But if your head hurts so bad, you can't stand or sit still. If you are screaming and thrashing about (or even if you can't move at all).  I did eventually get to an ER.  It just took about 4 hours to drive myself there.  I had to pull over a few times.  I wasn't having a stroke but I didn't get an answer and the headache was just slightly duller.  And every morning, it would return for just a few minutes until I moved around for about 10 minutes or so.

The diagnosis

No kidding, I looked up the diagnosis and it said one in a million people get the condition and I thought I had to be nuts to actually believe that I actually had this problem but I knew I did.

The moods

Try as I might, in my life, when I was unhappy with the was things were going and having a little temper tantrum in my head, I would promise myself I was going to stay mad or sad FOREVER.  It never worked, I got over it. Usually the next day. But suddenly, I succumbed to a depression from  effectively nothing. I just was so tired, I didn't care to live and I was depressed for the first time in my life. It was a scary situation and I knew it was wrong.  Why wasn't the rest of the world so tired?   

Sometimes we just want to keep those memories locked up

So, there I was with a disabling diagnosis.  now what? What specialist has seen enough people like me to really deconstruct my problem and make things better?  Who really understands how I feel physically and what can be done?  The only doctor I knew was me.  I have great neurologists, they don't feel the spasms, They don't know if the medication is right and they don't know how to make the immune system stop this trainwreck.

I had my own office visit with myself

They say that only a fool would be their own lawyer and I suppose that goes for doctors too, after all I should have gone to the ER with that headache and I didn't.  But now, I had to get serious. 

I had to find a cause and a plan.  there were multiple contributions to the cause and multiple plans to correct the problem and the effects.  

I had to accept this was how I would live the rest of my life.


Just like a person who manages to lose weight, I had to change my lifestyle and never go back.  Sounds much easier than it actually is.  Ask anyone who gained the weight back and then some.
