Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Becca, Toprol is a blocker...it can be used to lower blood preassure, reduce severity of angina symptoms, and reduce risk of 2nd heart attack. I use it for my cardiomyopathy..which it also helps. Amiodarone is in a totally different drug family...its an anti-arrhythmic. I take both..along with lanoxin, monopril, spironolactone, and nitro....i take six other meds for unrelated heart health problems....so i am a pharmacists dream come true!!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Becca, different drugs can do different things...maybe Toprol has other properties that i am unaware of, i guess you should check with your Doc. or pharmicist...i hope i haven't concerned you, remember i am a writer, not a Doc....let me know what you find out, ok? You asked a little about me..well i am 37. Going through a divorce, and have two children...Skyler, my son will be 13 and Shelby, my daughter will be 11. This isn't my first marriage and THATS a whole 'nother story...But, i am a writer, and just started working for a local talent agency doing on camera work..( commercials, training videos ect...)and have been disabled with this heart of mine since 1991.I went in to cardiac arrest about 10 minutes afte Shelby was born...and thats when the fun began!!! Open heart in 1992..5 oblations (sp?) 3 ICD's and 4 pacemakers later...i am alive and kickin!!!!! My life has been....interesting, to say the least.....but i count my blessings and put up with the rest. Thanx for askin about me, and if there is anything else you were curious about..just let me know.....this life is an open book! Becca, maybe you could explain to me what Marfans Syndrome is? I have not ever heard of it...i could look it up, but thought maybe you could explain it in terms i can understand! Friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please know that if you ever want to talk about things, to let me know..i am always quick with a joke but i am a good listener and can be serious too! I hope things go well tomorrow with your ultra sound..at least that test isn't painful..just be careful of those curious janitors...with the big eyes!!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 , You did answer my question, and now I am thoroughly confused. I thought it was an anti-arrthythmic which was the problem in the first place. Didn't have a heart attack, no chest pain, and the only time I am aware of my blood pressure going up is when I am in a doctor's office. Hummmm. I know that I am way behind most of you because I was hit with my situation as an emergency and after getting home, it took me forever to care about anything other than waking up in the morning and having a pee. Brain was very foggy. So alot of the terminology is news to me. Guess I need to do some homework. Want to know more about you too, by the way. You married, kids?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Becca - re: your question about Toprol -- I was also on that for awhile (don't take it now, though) and I'm told that although it is often used to lower blood pressure, it is also often used for people who have v-tach and other rhythm problems to slow and strengthen the heart muscles. (I asked the same question when they put me on it since I've never had high blood pressure etc.) If the Toprol is working for you, that is great, because it does not typically have as many negative side effects as some other meds. In any case, hope you don't mind me jumping in the middle of your conversation with . Just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents worth in case it might be helpful. Regards - ita Re: Drugs and such... ,You did answer my question, and now I amthoroughly confused. I thought it was ananti-arrthythmic which was the problem in thefirst place.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 , Lord, you have been through it! I admire your spirit. Looked up toprol and evidently it is used to treat arrythmias too, which is my problem, things speeding up too much. So it is appropriate I guess, and it couldn't hurt with the rest of the stuff it is supposed to help. No side effects that I can tell which is a good thing too. Marfans is an inheritable condition that effects the connective tissues and any number of organs. Classic Marfans have a certain look about them, or at least that is my experience. My brother, Mark, was classic. He was over 6'5 " in height, very long arms and legs, exceptionally thin with oversized joints. His eyes roamed around because the muscles could not keep them in place, but he could control them. High palates, extemely long fingers. Mark was a savant in music on the oboe and one of his advantages was the long reach of the fingers. I have heard that Paganini(sic) the violinest, was a Marfan, as is rumored that Abraham Lincoln was too. I am considered a trace with the curvature of spine, eye problems, and the ever charming heart valve joy. Mark died at 15 from an aortic blow-out like my father who died at 29 from same. There's a website: http://www.Marfans.org you can check. I wonder sometimes when I see these very tall guys on the basketball court if they are Marfan. Hope that helps. I had to look it up since I know what it is, but afraid I had forgotten the geist of it.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Sue, your health care concerns sound familiar...i have different circumstances but same difficulties..been in disability for almost 11 years... i do meet the requirements for state aid...and they still bleed me dry. I don't understand why we get punished twice...its bad enough to be sick but to be poor on top of it seems to add insult to injury!!! Oh well, my Father says i have to be alive to complain..which pretty much puts it all in perspective... The important thing is that i look good...and yellow is apparently a good color for me..lol....by the way, i decided to put a little grey poupon behind my ears..to complete the look. Great results so far...my downstairs neighbor who is about 70 and smokes dope gave me a once over today when i left my apartment!!!! Whoooohooo...things are lookin up for me now!!! I think he had the munchies cuz when i looked back at him he had a hot dog in his hand and a pathetic look on his face..scary!!!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Sue..thank you for sharing the story about your friend Kathy...it must have been very painful to tell. I know it was difficult to hear...yet, there is definitely a lesson to be learned...to never take our precious lives for granted. You mentioned that you never got to say goodbye to your friend...may i may a suggestion? Since she is refusing phone call, write a letter to her...you don't even have to send it, but my friend, closure is so important when we loose someone we love. My best friend, Danny, died in a tragic drunk driving accident just after we graduated from highschool....we had been neighbors and best friends all our lives. He died immediately..so of course i never got to tell him how much i loved him, how sorry i was that our children wouldn't grow up together..to be best friends too.. Anyway i wrote him a lengthy letter explaining how i felt...how much i missed him, how angry i was for him drinking and driving and stealing away the dearest friend i could ever hope to have. I am sorry for your loss Sue, and i think you are very brave for quitting smoking and recognizing that you need to do that for your family...and for yourself...and for those of us who are recognizing how special you truly are! My thoughts and prayers are with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually the one who goes to the pharmacy for Rich's dope.... uh, i mean..... drugs. I know it's a small town and all, and i should be pleased that they greet me with 'Oh hi, Mrs. Owens, how ya doin' today?' but still...... i think the pharmacist could at least wait till i leave to phone his travel agent, don't you?

Did it have something to do with placing it in a place where one could grow mushrooms? I.e., dark, musty, and full of manure? You are quite fortunate. Rich has a Medicare supplement 'plan' (i think the plan is to starve us to death). At first, 7 yrs. ago, they were satisfied with the premiums they got from the deduction from his disability check for 'Medicare B'. His med. copay was typically $10-$20/each. Now we pay an extra $60/month just to keep the alleged plan, including the $40 they get from Medicare B. His med. copays are $40/each. He's on 7 meds. You do the math, it makes me too tired (and hungry). Oh, and we don't qualify for any of those 'low income' helping programs. Even tho i only make $9.50/hr., and have two kids to support (with no help from their deadbeat dad, but do not get me started on THAT!) Sue -- " She was not quite what you would call refined.

I think he had the munchies cuz when i looked back at > him he had a hot dog in his hand and a pathetic look on his > face..scary!!! So... how big was the hot dog? Yeppers..... you gotta laugh, or you will surely die. Case in point.... A friend (nurse by profession) at work got injured by a pt. a couple wks. ago. She's my age, btw. (late 40s). 5 kids like i have. Her 2 youngest are the same ages as my 2 youngest. They thot the patient broke her ribs, since he head-butted her. I found out today how wrong they were. She had an x-ray. She has terminal lung cancer. It has invaded her brain and her bones, as well as taken over both lungs. She is now in hospice care. She wants no visitors or fone calls. I just talked to her this past Monday. We spent our breaks at work today telling Kathy jokes. And making fun of ourselves for continuing to smoke. Black humor, at its lowest. Kathy, my friend, i never got to say good-bye to you. I pray that you are wrapped in the arms of God, and that you have an easy journey Home. I cannot fix you, although i wish i had that Power. All i can do is quit smoking, so that my girls won't suffer as yours are doing.
