Throw-away people - Heart Disorders Message Board

Due to the fact that dr.s are or seem to be withdrawing from any diet drug users who are now ill, deathly ill, we've come to the conclusion that we must be throwaway people,as if we don't count in any degree in scoiety.The more I discover the angrier I get.Perhaps today is just a bad day, I don't know , but I was told it can only get worse now. Thanx for listening. Lupine

I'm sorry I'm just to the point that i had to vent. Ahp and our dr. give this drug to my husband ,and no less than 2 weeks later , he's on norvasec, and he hasn't stopped taking meds since, theres more , more test's yet his health is still declining. I know as they do that he's overweight, that's why the dr put him on redux, I have yet to see a dr who is willing to really help, they backstep if I mention redux. Wednesday at the hospital ( was admitted Mon)I never said diet boo, 1 cardiologist may help, I"M TERRIFIED TO MENTION REDUX HE MAY TURN AWAY AS THESE OTHERS HAVE.My husband said he's become a throwaway person, no-one wants know they are afraid? I don't know, but they sure do not want to hear about it. I don't mean to sound this bitter, but this new cardiologist ( his real card left town) told us this is just the beginning of health issues. I know a lot of people have gone thru this.how do you stop the anger at what has happened?Perhap's I just need rest for a better perspective,Thanx for responding, Lupine

I HAD A FRIEND PASS AWAY FROM SURGERY TO HELP HER LOSE WEIGHT. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HER HUSBAND FEELS. THERE ARE COMPLICATIONS WITH EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THE MEDICAL FIELD SAD BUT TRUE. SEVERE COMPLICATIONS WITH HEART MEDS ALSO BUT PEOPLE STILL TAKE THAT CHANCE. THEN WHEN WE GET HIT WITH THE FEW SIDE EFFECTS THERE WE ARE LIKE GUINEA PIGS REMEMBER DOCTORS ARE NOT MIRACLE WORKERS. THAT IS WHERE SOCIETY HAS PLACED THEM AND THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE GOOD FOR SURGERIES THOUGH. JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND WE TAKE RISKS HERE..

Dear Anette 30, since this posting my husband has been dx w/pph. Things are going to be very hard for him , my frustrations were showing that day, and I am still frustrated, but at least he is being treated now.He was on ccb, diuertics etc... before, but now they are stronger. I just do not like the way the world acts toward him, he is very good man , and did not deserve this, but there are many that are riding the same boat as him. I praying that theres no leaks in the boat> thanx Lupine
