Cool Any Suggestons

My first post, I'm a 71 years old male retired four years ago and the bottom fell out so far the golden years are bad.
I had a fusion 40 years ago and another 20 years both in my neck. My face went numb sight in left eye blurred and left arm hurting went EM and my blood pressure was high they thought it was a stroke did a scan which had some dark places in it after a couple hours ever thing was OK.
went to my doctor the next day he ordered CT scan MRI and MRA when they came back showed blood vessel disease they put me on a lot of medication i did feel better for a while the face and vision came back arm came back my face was nun but you could not see it. same thing CT scan this time they called it TIA and again released. two weeks the same thing went to EM again some thing this time they sent me to a hospital in Charleston put me on two blood pressure medications stayed for a week did MRI,MRA, brain scan checked my arteries. now they think i am a little off they send me to head doctor (cant spell it) he said i had bad depression and anxiety and put me on more medication at this point i was having trouble walking it was like i was drunk, clumsy.
at this point i felt like a zombie from the medication and thought that was why i could not walk straight. (i am leaving out a lot trying to make it short)
my doctor sent me to Charleston MUSC to a neurology a lady she saw me coming down the hall and when i went in her room she didn't say hell she said you got bad virago and i will find out what wrong with you before you leave i had MRI of my head and neck i had to go back that afternoon and she said i am not going to sugar coat it for you like i said you have viritgo bad you have a bad neck and that is causing all your trouble she had tears in her eyes and said i would gogo from my cane to a walker to a wheel chair or bed that my neck was so bad to promise her i would not let any body operate on it. three and a half years and this lady found the problem i only take blood pressure median now she wonted me to try this balance mobitily@dizziness center i did for a couple months but no help.
my face is so bad now it hurts i have been for nerve blocks and now taking theory now it is my left leg numbness when i walk i usual have to have help
i have not drove in four years fell of the grass cutter didn't get hurt , am getting car sick now front or back fell in the bathroom hurt my chest have to call for help some times in the shower, my spinal cord is being compressed and and getting narrow betten c1 c2 i got troubles, both hands numb, arms hurt losing strength in left hands , i am going to stop hope you can read this ,
i am not asking for any thing. if any one wonted to reply i would love it. and like i said these golden years are ruff. PS i still have a good sense of humor.

Have a blessed day
