My Disturbing Diagnosis

[Steve Frey]

Went to the doctor today because I've been feeling very bloated lately and have been experiencing shortness of breath, after a few x-rays the diagnosis was congestive heart failure. That's about all I know at this point, will post when I learn more.

I'm really sorry to hear that, do not be rushed into anything, if you are taking any protocall stop it to see if you feel better .

You know these doctors are some times idiots. Was he looking like a predator with a scalple in his had and money signs in his eyes.

Get a copy of your x rays you do not want to do them again.Steve I know at least 3 people that were rushed into the hospital, for such kind of stuff, my mother for a triple bypass, a customer of mine, a young man 29 a little overweight but not obese, he got a triple bypass and he said to me, I do not know why but I still have the original pain, it was the same pain I had with gall bladder untill it was removed.

The third man was fit looking he went to his doctors office and for a looky see, the doctor said, you are having a heart attack, that is the same as the doctor said to my mother, your heart is 90 percent blocked. Then as what happened to my mother he was rushed to the hospital and the operation was performed, after this they opened his neck and scraped his vein, they did this to my mother also, after both of the operations they said to this fellow, we want to make sure your kidneys are ok, they gave him the metal garbage to drink, his kidneys failed and now this man is on dialisis.

They also gave the drink to my mother, she commented many times, that drink is what started my kidney problems.

The fellow said to me, I went to the doctor for a checkup and now I'm dying.

Be careful with doctors and their suggestions and diagnosis , too many lead to operations.

No not in hospital at this point but doc says if I feel like I'm getting worse even in the slightest to not hesitate in going, he say I'm currently riding the fence and leaning the wrong way so I have to be very careful.

Steve, I am very upset to hear about your news. If you can it might be a good idea to get a second opinion before going ahead with anything very drastic (like operations). I agree with BO's advice about making sure you have your X-rays to show other doctors plus it would be good to have copies of any blood work or other testing that was done. I personally feel that this disease can cause water to accumulate around the heart in the area of the pericardium. My TCM guy has treated this area of my heart (well, among the many things he's had to treat while following this illness as it moves around and blocks different areas of the body). Please keep us all up to date about how you are doing when you can. It's been so good to see you posting lately. Take care friend.

I agree that Morgellons parasites appear to move around the body. They often attack an organ and cause it to malfunction. However, I have learned that with medications for Morgellons (ivermectin, colloidal silver, Bactrim etc.) the problem will eventually resolve if one has a semi-decent immune system. Morgellons very early on decided to attack my heart and ability to breathe. This went on for about a year. My breathing and heart function are much better now. I believe that when an organ is attacked (particularly when it wasn't damaged originally), it will, over time, develop strategies for forcing the Morgies to move along. It's possible that your congestive heart is the result of morgie parasite congestion. I also, early on, had problems with major swelling of the stomach area, but not anymore.

I should add that the morgies love to block stuff. They also appear to use the tissue of the organ (or skin cells in the skin) to replicate. Thus a huge morgie colony might appear to be part of an organ (i.e. it has the same cells), but it really isn't. This is why I can pick "skin" off myself and actually feel no pain. The skin cells are infected with morgies RNA and not really part of my real skin.

There was two friends that had issues in there chest, just like mine, it is, one fellow was told it was a swollen lymph gland pressing on his heart, actually talked with him this evening.

He was rushed in a ambulance because he was having trouble breathing. The pain in my chest is exactly where his is, and the feeling of not being able to get a full breath some times is extreme and unless I yuan I can not get that satisfying breath, its always like its falling short of satisfying my need for air.

The other thing that happens is this, the pain will build under the left breast and a little to the right, if I force out a burp the pain will subside same with my friend.

My father just before he had a massive heart attack and died began having indigestion and burping, he was the master of burping.

this is serious and affects the whole body. sending you good wishes and hope your condition improves. If you are into trying TCM and know an experienced OMD acupuncturist, acupuncture is a treatment that has helped a lot of patients with this condition. I mean I have given such treatment and know it can improve this condition dramatically. Providing the OMD can do a correct TCM diagnosis and prescribe points appropriately you could consider this type of care as part of your treatment strategy.

Hi Steve, new to posting on this site here. I'm really sorry to read your news about the CHF. I received the same diagnosis in May 2010. I would also of course recommend you getting more than one opinion. It took me 3 or 4 doctors diagnosis' to convince me. I've had my share of run arounds from the medical community in the past. I know it can be hard to put your trust in them. They can't or won't treat Morgellons, and that sucks.
But Morgs or no Morgs, CHF is a serious condition. There are no ifs, ands, or buts, as to what heart failure is. You need to listen to your doctors and get as much info FROM them as to your level of advancement. It is important for you to find out your ejection fraction - the percent of blood the heart is pumping.
My rate is pretty low -15%. I am in good physical condition and relatively young -50. I had an internal cardiac defibrillator implanted in Feb 2011. My choices were to get the implant or risk a 50% chance of sudden death within a year. The device will keep my heart from stopping. To be sure, this diagnosis has been life style changing, and Morgellons is still in my face daily. I never really knew what true fatigue was until this heart stuff happened. But it can be managed, and you can do it.
I empathize with how you are feeling right now. It's a freaking tough bit of news to get. I am still pissed off about it, but I know what is, is. Feel free to PM me I can be of any help.
