Are you on a statin?I have had the same neuropaty pain from being on 4 different statins.I am not diabetic and this pain seems to be permanent as it has been here for 2 years. I see a Neurologist but they do nothing but give you Gabapentin,which does not work. These statins are murder.

I am sure that depression is a chemical imbalance.You do not have to have a reason to be there.I have been there,done that.It is a horrible disease as lethal as cancer.

I had a NDE when I was 21.I was having a miscarriage and had lost a lot of blood.In those days you had to pass tissue before they could touch you.I remember leaving my body and watching what was going on and yelling Help.I was taken up to surgery and made it.I guess I was near death.

Wow,please keep us informed.I think most of us would love to have it but we would not pass.

My aortic valve shocks people that listen to it.They all say "Why don't you get that fixed?"I Answer that it has to be symptomatic.They just don't understand and these are Doctors,not Cardiologists.

Sorry to hear about your Father.He did seem to be giving it a good fight.

On television news last night,The Brigham and Women's Hospital has done it's first Tavi with twilight anesthetia.The Doctor was Andrew Craig Eisenhauer MD, interventional cardiologist. The patient was an 80 year old lady.The future is NOW.

Good luck,Heartstream....go with the Flow....

I was on Metoprolol for about a year.It dragged me down. I was changed to Carvedilol and what a difference.I feel normal not tired.

So glad you made it.My Daughter's valve was unicuspid.She had emergency AVR because it closed like a toilet seat closing...boom.I wonder how many are unicuspid? Anybody else?

Another well wisher here,good luck tomorrow.See you in a couple of days.

From your history,It looks like we could also learn from you.Good luck on your surgery.

I take 100mg.50am 50pm. My aneurysm was only a 3 but was being watched for 2 years.I just had a ct scan in November for another reason and still GONE.Do your homework and do what is best for you.Good Luck.

Hey,It worked for me.What do you have to loose?Take it just for hbp and maybe it will help your aorta.Check out Hal Dietz at John Hopkins,he is doing the research on this.I also take a beta blocker....Carvedilol.

Wow, quite a wild ride. Sorry about your recovery,I sure hope it improves soon.I was suprized when my Daughter had AVR and lost her Gall Bladder a week later.I guess all the organs are connected in some way.Get well soon. Carol
