My doctors will drive me to... death due to conflicting medications.
Health insurers hate me. I am on about 15-10 medications. At age 53, I had a small heart attack. I was born with a defective heart valve that was replaced 7 years ago (Afib was the sign it needed replacement). I thought the afib was gone. Then, 2 months ago, that valve was again replaced along with

12 months after Quadruple By-pass
Today is it 12 months since my 4 X CABG and I thought it would be a good time to reflect on my experience. I suppose the first lesson I learnt was not to put off going to the doctors in the first place! I realised some time ago that I was becoming breathless when even doing the most simple tasks. Like

How come after my CABG (13weeks post op) every 2 or 3 days I can easily stay up, sleepless all night?
After my surgery I used to be very concerned about my insomnia... praying, keeping my wife up talking, etc.. now when it happens I just accept it and go into my living room and watch a movie and know that I’ll be up all night and the next day into the night. I’ll probably sleep tomorrow night... when

Stem cell transplant?
Hi everyone, am glad to join this society of inspiring and strong people. I have been reading a lot of posts on here but no one seems to be talking about the only possible cure for this disease. So has anyone ever thought of having a transplant, especially for the little kids?

Numbness and tingling after wrist fusion surgery
I’ve been distracted by the excruciating pain in my hip since the original operation, as I had a
bone
graft
from left hip
bone
to put into my wrist to fuse it, but now that’s easing slightly I’m starting to struggle with all this pain and numbness that has come on in my thumb and palm.

The dark has me quit unsettled at times after my CABG surgery.
I’ve notice every 5 night or so... I’m completely sleepless!!! It’s because of the reaction I’m having to the darkness. After my surgery I noticed that I didn’t like the dark anymore... I narrowed it down to some reasons that started to make sense.. 1. My subconscious is traumatized and associates the

After 3x CABG, does anyone else’ Mind feel tired but your body just won’t “let go” and let you fall asleep?
Seems like after my surgery I’m having night time anxiety, hyper vigilant for no reason, I understand my body has gone through hell, but I feel better so why does my mind send me negative feelings?

Cabg x 3
I am 2 weeks post op and have this annoying irritating cough. Not a productive cough more a tickle cough. Is this normal? Went to the GP who tested my chest and back which were clear - thought it might be because I have a hiatus hernia and gave me some gaviscon but does not seem to have made any difference

How do you know that you are in remission?
Hi, I had a stem cell transplant in feb 2016 which has been successful although I did suffer from very severe gut gvhd and to some extent skin gvhd which left me hospitalised at Kings for 5 months. I’ve been out of hospital for just over a year now and have been receiving chemo as a preventative measure

I am 7 days post op for a cabg. How long does it take for the redness to disappear from your harvested vein sites. How long must you wear the compression socks for?

7 week update post CABG x 3
Hi everyone I thought I would hang fire before I posted an update as nothing really much has happened since my last post. Well today I visited James Cook and met with a Cardiologist not my Surgeon, which was a little disappointing as I really wanted to shake his hand and give him my thank you card, but

CLL and Myeloma anyone?
I've had CLL with no treatment for 11 years but recently broke my collarbone and xray and CT scan revealed multiple myeloma. Treatment for myeloma started 4 days ago and the plan is to have stem cell transplant in 3-4 months. Anyone in the same boat and could stem cell transplant also help the CLL.
