Had asthma 7years, nearly died aged 23 but for a little French sister and spiritual help. I brought my four children up, loved gardening, decorating, sewing and yoga. all that was taken away from me aged 45yrs as diagnosed as having ME later proven to be Lyme arthritis. it has been a very difficult 34yrs.

Hello,Are you under a cardiologist or just your GP? Have you had any tests done? If not it certainly needs looking at. First stop GP, normal tests blood pressure ECG see if anything shows up, then take it from there.

Hope you get some answers to these pains, can appreciate it’s worrying.

Best wishes Pauline

just under GP who is dealing with hearing loss and a burn due to hot water. The little stabbing pains are not really bad , just annoying.

Hi JacquibutDon’t be sad about things you cannot do now. We all eventually get to that point. But you have new things you can do. If the family are still around show them what you used to do some might even decide to pick it up. The important fact is you are still here experiencing and sometimes enjoying things. And of course your spiritual carers are obviously still looking after you. Ask them if they have any ideas there is all sorts of help out there some we don’t even give a second thought to. Focus on what you want to do with the rest of your time there is a lot of good things still available find them and use them. Peace to you.
