Default 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?

Ouch and more ouch!!! Imressed that you are functioning as much as you are, sounds like you have true grit!!
I actually found this forum because I was looking for advice on RSD, and decided to see if they also had a forum for stroke survivors, since I also had a stroke at age 7.

I was just trying to explain to my mom that she cannot possibly know how it feels to have grown up like me, and reading about you, I see I cannot possibly understand how you feel. I can admire and respect your tenacity at living your life and being the survivor you most certainly are!

I hope today is a good day for you, and hope you will have many good days!!
