Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Lottie: If Skip is Warrior No.1, you are surely Warrior No.2. What an awful lot you have gone through! It just comes out to us from snatches from your letters and makes our continual aches and pains seem minimal. I wish you all good luck when you get back in the trial. Pls. keep us informed when you feel like it.

They said enzymes don't lie. Each organ gives off distress signals and they are all different, so if you are having a pancreatic attack, it will not feel like a heart attack and the enzymes will be different. I had no blockages and never had had high cholesterol, so I still believe to this day that it was Vioxx. When my doctor saw me for my next visit, he said " Stop taking Vioxx, it causes strokes and heart attacks. " I said, " Too late I already had a stroke. " Next week I had the heart attack. What made me go to the hospital is I lost my vision. I called the opthamologist and he urged me to go to the hospital. It was like pulling a curtain down and my vision came back the same way. To this day, I don't know what caused it. Tonight I had a blind spot in my line of vision. I waited for a while and it appeared to go back to normal. I guess its time so see my opthhmologist again. Carpe Diem, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
