Next! Please

All the blood work is okay..I've been approved for surgery. Still hanging in there. My blood pressure is still high. My meds have been increased and I am now taking meds for high cholesterol. She (my doc) also stated that I am pre-diabetic. What else can go wrong? I tell you, once you hit 60, everything starts to give out. Too much work and stress has taken its toll on my body. I asked about the "panic attacks" that I had had in April. and she said, my body was just worn out from so much stress.

rundown.

constant headaches (type of migraine)
high blood pressure
Fibromyalgia
degenerate disk disease (cervical spine - neck)
degenerative disease - spine ( 2 discs)
bursitis (hips)
osteoarthritis (knees)
GERD
Carpel tunnel
nerve damage
peripheral neuropathy
the beginnings of cataracs
pre-diabetic
and high pain/exhaustion..so tired all the time. Pain level today...8+

WHAT else is there?

so much to learn, so little time.

Next Please!

Well, so far, my SED rates have gone down to normal..still waiting for the results of my pre-op tests to schedule my surgery. I know the EKG was normal...and, since I've been pretty much poked every week, I'm sure my blood work will also be normal. I'll find out Thursday. I've been monitoring my blood pressure on a daily basis and even with the change in medication, it is still running kinda high. What's next?
