Help with Carditis until I get to the dr...non ER :)

January 22, 2011

Hi friends, this is not an immediate...got to get to the ER kind of message

(thank goodness). I am still awaiting on my SLOW ground shipping of my book to

use as reference, but I really need some additional input if anyone has heart

palpitation/skipping/pounding out there.

some days are worse than others, and it is almost ALWAYS in the evening. I have

a hard time getting to bed even though I am tired because it is such an

unpleasant experience to lay there and listen to my scared heart. Now that I

have learned more about it, it worries me a little more

I had grown used to it...although it went away for a year or so. I don't have

any blood tests for myself, because we are using the money to test and treat our

son. I am then forced to see standard non llmd physicians. We had just moved

to a new town, so I am treating our son in Cincinnati...but do not have that

luxury for myself as well. I have an appointment for next month...always takes

longer to get a new patient in.

Do you have any tips on what to tell the physician for myself (not llmd) I

probably need to get my heart checked out in addition to lyme (which he probably

won't do anyway) I will mention that I believe I have lyme and that is where my

issues are from. I guess I will have to guage his reactions and recommendations

to determine if I will go back or not.

I am taking knotweed and hawthorne as well as eating very very well on a GAPS

diet (gapsdiet.com for info) It is just wearing me down and I really don't want

to leave this world quite yet. I still have a lot of business to attend to. My

family needs me too

In addition to the heard palpitations and irregular beats, I get EXTREME

fatigue, dizziness, pressure in the neck (new), I had colon cancer at 29 (time

for another colonoscopy, but I hate to go under with my heart funny like this).

There are other symptoms that have come and gone, but the heart thing is really

taking over my life now. I know there is no magic bullet, but is there something

that helped you with your heart symptoms? I am reaching at straws here hoping

that something will help.

Thanks so much for reading this long mess. Having trouble keeping it together

right now.

Anne
