Has anyone ever had this happen?
I went to my cardiologist yesterday and he informed me that my pm slipped down and I would have to have an x-ray to see if the lead wires were still as they should be. My previous info had been that I could swim in a month, but I waited five weeks. (Later found out it should have been 6 to 8 weeks). When doing backstroke on two occasions it felt as tho the pm moved (which it did) My concern now is will I have to have the pm surgery again? My pm is only thre...

For those of you who have been on Toprol XL or are currently...HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED ITCHING? At night my legs get extremely itchy and sometimes my arms, too. In the morning I get itchy as well. I've had this problem for a long time and just recently thought it could be caused by the Toprol (I was re-reading its side effects and itching is one). Unfortunately, I've been on the Toprol for years and have been itching regularly like this for years so I don't know if it all started about the...

A big germ factory no matter how much dissefecting we try to do) well. Friday night my throught stated getting sore. I thought, great another cold. Saturday I work up feeling awfu...

This might sound a bit crazy, but, I know we have some game playing people on here. I bought an X Box 360 and was wondering if anyone here has XBox Live and would like to play some time. I just have a couple of games like; Halo 3 and Virtua Tennis 3. If your interested in playing with me or others, lets get together. Future games I'm buying; Tiger Woods 2008. I hope this doesn't sound too young for some of you. I'm just trying to get closer to all my pacing buddies here at the Club. God b...

That didn't help and the exhaustion continued to the point that I'd become practically dysfunctional in my job...memory loss, lack of concentration, no enthusiasm. I brought myself off the effexor last summer and with continued complaints to the doctor about listlessness, was given a te...
