I've been chronically ill for 4 years including an auto immune disease so rare less than 1000 people in America are documented to have it. I'm a deeply religious man and hold on to the promises of God, but I find the battle with depression is harder than 2 open... Read more.

I imagine you know the verse Phil. 4:8. I would encourage you to print it out and read it 3 times a day for a month..... and then keep going to look at it every day for a year. ~ hang it where you will see it most. Keep on,... Read more.

Gary I want to piggyback on Tina's post...we have all gone through the ups and downs of having had heart surgery, repairs, bypasses and as a believer there is only hope & praise. I have not had any depression, but a great deal of frustration because other things that seemed... Read more.

LIstening to Christian music really helps me get my mind in the right place. My favorite radio station is K-love. If you can't find it locally, it it on the web. I haven't been able to listen much lately, but today I had the house to myself and it's been... Read more.

I pray that the Lord will heal you where doctors have not been able to help you.

Gary, I have been praying for you, and I went to Mass today and this is what came into my mind: you live in Green Bay, right? If yes, please go to The Chapel of the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help which is a Marian shrine, located within... Read more.

Had to be transported emergently twice more on 12/10/14 and 12/19/14 again as I was hardly able to breath. Arrived at the ER just before I needed a tube. They finally diagnosed me as being in diastolic heart failure, warfarin induced coagulopathy, rt. pleural effusion, fibrosing medistinitis and aspiration pneumonia.... Read more.

Glad you are feeling better -- you have had a rough time of it

So sorry to hear the rough time you have had, but so glad they found what was wrong. Let the healing begin! Better days ahead.

Gary, I pray things will be better for you now!

Gary, you have had a really tough time of it, but you are a survivor! So good that they figured out what was going on, fixed it, and now you're feeling better. Prayers for a smooth recovery from here on out.

Hi Gary, it is not God's will for you to be sick. Sickness and disease do not come from God. John 10:10 reads:" The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. Stay in faith, and feel better.

Went into CHF with flash pulmonary edema. It was the most horrifying thing I've ever experienced. Couldn't breath, lungs were filling with fluid. Called 911 and the paramedics were great. Put me on CPAP en route to the hospital. The ED stabilized me and I stayed hospitalized for 3 days.... Read more.

I'm so sorry Gary. That sounds very frightening. I am glad you are doing better. Did they do an echo?
11 years ago (November 19, 2014)
Gary, that is horrible! Do you know what caused that to happen so long after your surgery?
11 years ago (November 21, 2014)
They aren't sure what caused it. My echo showed my heart was in good shape. EF'S of 61% They treated me for pneumia. I'm feeling much better. Tomorrow I'm back on my Schwin Airdyne . I will always fight back!

Keep the good fight going!
