heart

Venting about familiar stuff & softening resentment with humor.(at least a little)... I logged on primarily to vent....which I intend to do. However....as I was perusing the newer posts, I came across 'Vistra's post about her college roommate coming to visit, and realized that in some...

Dear all, I've been quietly reading a lot around the forum but I finally need to write my story. It all started with feeling generally ill for a while, let's say may and June of this year. I was just not feeling right, dizziness, nausea, stomach problems. Everybody including docs said it was...

Does anyone have an elevated heart rate as this disease progresses? I have always had a little high resting heart rate, even in my early twenties it was 90 to 95. In the last month it has risen to between 117 to 126, and that's when I first wake up, before I even get out of bed. I've also...

I know that everyone is dealing with so much so I am hoping that something from my rambling below helps someone else so I don't feel so guilty. I apologize ahead of time but I don't know of any safer place to share my feelings. I hate this disease for taking my husband from me before he is even...

Hello, I am a 20 year old male. Fortunately I've always had good luck with my health. Recently my left knee began twitching after playing basketball. After the twitching left which was one full day it began feeling heavy and weak. Then my lower part of the leg began to feel the same way ...

Good day/evening, everyone. Before starting my story, I'd like to point out a couple of things: - First of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for any possible grammatical/spelling mistakes. English isn't my first language. - I'd like to thank everyone on this side who has been (be it...

I haven't posted any songs for quite some time. This one is just an instrumental but sure does tug at my heart strings. It's called Lover's Waltz. When I listen to I imagine that one day my wife and I can dance to this beautiful song. All things are temporary here but there will be an eternal...
