Its more or less a life sentence. About 15% of my face paralyzed, and much worse, some bizarre condition that causes my body to swell. I'm tipping the scales around 400 right now (up from 310 only 6 weeks ago), and my heart is getting squished. I can't get my feet into any shoes, and I'm on the maximum dose for the drug that forces the fluid out. Its losing the battle. The Dr can't explain it. It acts like Legionaire's Disease, but it is not bacterial, its either viral or a very rare allergic reaction. Allergist next. But moving around and planting the garden weighing 400 is tough, I found out today. Its just hard to take. It isn't over yet.
