hello @Shaz51

pleased to hear that your ear is getting there - bit of a pun there

medication cut backs always hard to do and takes many efforts .. important to praise any attempt as i know that you would

hope that the heart specialist check up is elimination good that she can get in next month also

have been down the track with heart specialists with husband and sister - all good now

i am supposed to be checked out because is my twin and strong history of heart disease in family .. have too much on my plate dont want to know about any other medical issues at this moment in time.

hi everyone, hope everybody had a nice Easter ? and I don't know much about Anzac Day thou.. but I would know about it for sure with a little Google and good old info from some nice Aussie friends. just to update everyone here ..I'm currently on a short break , still waiting for my speaking test .. as I took IELTS exam today..woooohhhh soooo difficult coz there's time restrictions.. Thor is at home alone ..but this time I'm not too worried like before..he is taking his meds regularly although he is hinting of not continuing one of the three meds prescribe to him coz he thinks it makes him edgy and anxious all the time. he started a business with his friend and it makes him busy..but we all know it could also mean stress for him . so once in a while he gets snappy..but when he got over it..he would immediately apologize and make up for it by helping out with the house chores or cooking special meal. .he still has psychosis like someone hacking his cellphone , computer and dodo service .. he sometimes dream on something and think it's real..that convincing him it's not real is a challenge..as we say here when stuff like that happens " it's the illness " . . so far I tried him on gluten free , less sugar and lactose free diet ..so far so good, I notice there's less up and down emotions..I encourage him to be active in church..only problem was we attend 2 churches every Sunday. ...well break time almost up...wish me luck on my English test exam..it's my first step to my student visa ..and next step to a new career. 🙂

hi Darcy , again thanks for the link I'm sure that would help us carer to understand more about this illness. hope mr Darcy doing well.. as for Thor's tummy I suspect celiac ..so been trying to convince him to see a gastro doctor for this.

Yes @Maryjune

I should get mineheart checked too as I was born with Rubella sydrome

and my dad died from a massive stroke and my mum had a stroke 10 years a go

@Shaz51 sorry your born with Rubella..but for me you'll always have a kind heart ,, so yeah take care of it and better be cautious and have it check..xxx
