After having injected a lot of foreign substances (very few of which were drugs) into my body, I have a serious heart problem. The doctors haven't seen anything exactly like it, so they're not sure as to how long I have left. We know that I'm inevitably going to die young.
Has anyone experienced anything similar that they might know the survival rate or even the death rate of such activity?
I don't feel any different unless I'm doing something exciting. I feel my heart racing until I can actually hear it.
Sometimes during normal activity, I get a very bad pain in my chest and I just freeze and clutch at it until it stops.
Other than that, there are no symptoms other than fast heart rate and relatively low blood-pressure.
You and your physician "know" what it is, yet there is no name for it...
You and your physician might know your symptoms...but obviously have not obtained an actual diagnosis.
***wanted to commit me for mental reasons, based on how I acquired the condition, And this man has saved my life multiple times in even stranger situations.
You are 22 and you have been in the position of having your life saved several times?
Is this person you are discussing a medically trained physician...or some other sort of healer?
I can't imagine why anyone would write a report about something so pathetic and so bizarre. The only thing that can possibly be proven by this is that I'm an over-emotional idiot.
This guy likes "unusual cases" and counters me every time I say I'm a moron.
"Moron? You? You're just self-destructive. I'll call you a moron if you come in here with a rectal foreign body."
The sheer number of people who do that is not only shocking, but it makes me feel significantly more intelligent.
***When you hear that you're dying, you're instantaneously desperate to know everything you can about your condition.
Yes, but you usually consult different physicians for different opinions...
Sorry, but in my humble medical opinion, there is something fishy about your description of your "symptoms" and "diagnosis"
I know of no physician who would give you a terminal prognosis not knowing what your "diagnosis" actually was...
We know what it is. There isn't actually a word for it. I've seen multiple doctors about this and most of them wanted to commit me for mental reasons, based on how I acquired the "condition," And this man has saved my life multiple times in even stranger situations. I most definitely trust him.
if doctors don't know what it is, then no one else does either.. a doctor doesn't know to tell his patients.. and if doctors don't know, how can they tell you how long you have left? well.. I don't know.. but I'm sure people would have a hard time answering this question.
You also don't have the entire story, which I'd much prefer not to give.
I truly wish I knew how to delete questions as this situation has developed into a novel-length drama that I may actually come out of, alive. Needless to say, its been an emotional week.
I realize that, but I figure somebody in the world might have some insight. When you hear that you're dying, you're instantaneously desperate to know everything you can about your condition.
Thanks.
And your physician gives you painkillers to combat a yet undiagnosed condition. Especially since you stated that you have a "relatively low blood-pressure."
You should change physicians.
Three months is a long time and I really shouldn't have posted it.
I was desperate, crying and high on pain killers at the time.
Why bother to ask a question and not provide the details... sigh... and you posted this three months ago...
He's a doctor.
There is not a diagnosis, because there is no name for it.
We're going in circles.
When your case is reported in the medical journals I would love to read the article.
