Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 After nine years of suffering with high blood pressure, diabetes, c.o.p.d.,using oxygen, sugar out of control, insulin dependent, pain so bad out of my mind, I suffered a bout of kidney stones [liked to killed me] - three sugeries not to mention heart desease. After 14 months of pain managment, I was given something for pain. I am no longer diabetic, no oxygen, no c.o.p.d. It has been the longest battle of my life, but after all of this, now my heart is bad, but I still went from 130 mgs.blood pressure medications to 10mg. but even with meds. there are some days I just dont know if im going to make it. Not to mention what my poor wife went through. She stayed right by my side. God bless that woman! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, My blood pressure has gone as high as 230/115 and I have actually had a nurse say, " I don't know why your blood pressure is so high " . Maintaining a high pain level, high blood pressure, can cause damage to organs and it is so ironic how the blood pressure drops when pain is controlled. It was a big step for me to go on timed pain medication and give up the martyr role, but I have to take care of myself so if I have to take pain medication the rest of my life, so be it. My husband has been my support system and I could not be here without him. Hang in there. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
