The punctuation remark cuts me to the bone. comma
is that some sort of second life thing Dianagrace?
Hi Diana.....being of an addictive weak-willed nature i should escape while the going is good, but I find myself still here! Tut Tut Tut !Please don't apologise! I could ask you the same - you remind me of someone who used to post here and then went AWOL. Twice....You're not his alter ego by any chance...?
Nah! She is spelt with two LLs We also have Sir Edmund Hillary here in NZ, first to climb Everest, and much revered. There is also a popular singer Hilary Weeks who confuses things if I am googled lol (best to put "New Zealand" artist for me) wonder what happens if i google " beardie" ?!
Hi enclave,When I had TIA's I was just given increased Aspirin .. 300gm a day .. I don't know for sure why but The Wife (sorry the wife again) says sugar can be used to clot blood .. so if she cuts herself she will sprinkle sugar on the cut and it stops bleeding quite quickly .. the only sugar we have is in the medicine cabinet .. so would eating lots of sugar affect the clotting of blood ?
edit to add.. when I had my TIA's I was eating lots of sugars, but stopped soon after when my diet changed
My dear doc has cut the aspirin dose right down now .... When I questiond this , I was told who's the Dr in this room .. I wanted to point out its my body .. Not had good experiences with any of my Drs or DS s !
I know .. Thanks .. Have had a few heart attacks in the past ... Dr said it was a stress attack .. So they went untreated when I had my heart by pass op I was told there is a fair bit of damage to my heart from not getting the right treatment earlier .. Still here so no problemSo sorry you have had bad experiences with docs..try to find one who does not mind questions, and allows you to make decisions, and is not always in a hurry...that may be difficult!!
But it is only a very small 100mg dose of aspirin daily that is necessary for long term prevention of arterial blood clots....surprisingly a whole aspirin does not work so well....except as a starting dose...say for a heart attack....
Hi HilaryYes I did...I constantly pestered her to "be kind"..makes me shudder at my behaviour...Sadly I won't really have time to spend on this site, it has already held me up enough over the last 24 hours ...I am also addicted to an artist's social network....so I may have to opt out of this one, but i love chatting on line....have a social phone phobia unfortunately or perhaps just as well....so much on my "to do" list each day, apart from work, so I am very lucky but always suffering from time stress..must paint a "cute and fluffy" for up coming Christmas Fair inaid of the RSPCA...planned 30 by end of month, have only done 20 so far..I have a website www.hilaryweeks.co.nz if you are interested.
Sorry Kat, must rush, Hilary
That's interesting, as before my diabetes diagnosis I had only been diagnosed with vascular decease only a couple of weeks before, they found that I had a 75 percent reduction in the artery supplying the left leg, anyway after my diet change from the diabetic diagnosis, (cutting out sugar which I had a lot of prior ) the pain when walking faded away to nothing & the pulse in my hip got stronger, to the point it was as strong as my right hip to which I have had the opp for a stent put off unless I get a problem in the future. It would be nice if I had another Doppler scan to see if the reduction has changed.When I had TIA's I was just given increased Aspirin .. 300gm a day ..

So may be sugar could have been the cause of the narrowing.
That's a very good offer thank you so much....and if I sold my work on line, I would definitely take you up on it.....however for the moment, I have a website, but don't do any online selling..yet!The wife is the editor of the Garden Tripod magazine .. If you would like her to feature your art work just let me know and I will get it sorted

I am male with a very strong family history of heart problems .. Most men in my family dying of heart attacks in their early to mid 50's, When I got the second Dr he said straight away I has unstable angina and heart attack at some point .. Then sent me to hospitalNot sure whether you are M or F as cannot view your profile, but women in particular are often not diagnosed as quickly as men..... if a man has a pain in his chest then everyone thinks" heart" but other diagnoses usually come to mind first with a woman....also the symptoms may be a bit different from the usual... and can be blamed on stress....always a risky diagnosis..I'm not trying to make excuses for us doctors as we are perfectly aware that this is a likely pitfall for us from the statistics, but we still tend to think this way unfortunately....
Well definitely NO excuse then....but so glad you have been rescuedI am male with a very strong family history of heart problems ..
