Co-ordinating stroke and other conditions?
I've had a total of 5 strokes in the past 5 years.
Basically dealing with strokes is just getting through the day without major disaster. Haven't been able to tolerate any meds for this.
Also had TBI (complications from brain surgery a couple years ago.
I also have heart failure. I originally had a couple dozen meds for that, but when my insurance ran out and I couldn't afford them, I cut them down, with the help of my cardiologist. Amazingly, my dizziness and weakness disappeared when the meds stopped.
I'm also diabetic - was diagnosed after my first hospitalization After bad reactions from insulin, my neighbor taught me how to deal with D with diet and exercise.
That also keeps my blood pressure healthy - so I'm no longer on any medication for my heart.
Also, yuck, I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a teen.
In addition, I was recently diagnosed with Lupus.
This keeps me nice and busy.
Anyone else enjoying the circus of multiple conditions?
