never thought it happen heart attack
monday mouring i had a heart attack was rushed to the ER and prepped for catherzation and open heart surgery and thank god they were able to put 2 stints in, one artery was blocked 99.9 % and the other 87% - the doctors said I am lucky to be here.... I just got home today
more bad news, I dont have any insuurance, the social worker at the hospital said I could qualify for the state to cover the hospital bill, but thats about it, i still gotta cover the doctor who put the stints in that saved my life, and pay for a ambulance ride from the first hospital that got me stable and got me to another hospital that done the cath and stints.... more bad news they released me from the hospital without any sample meds that I"ll be taking short term and for a long time now.... I can manage next month I am sure but this month I am so strapped for cash as I just payed all my bills and most of my family is also strapped for cash, my family doctor had a small amounts of smaple meds that I'll be taking, but not all, so I just bought 2 and 3 pills to buy me some time to get more..... I am not begging for any money from anyone but If you wanna throw a few bucks my way it would be great...I am 41 and never ever though it would happen at such a young age.... if anyone wants my epass its splat12ATepassporte.com I am gonna post this on another board that knows me for tgp owners that I sub to know I'll be taking a few days off, I am tried as I hardly slept in 4 days, I may review laying in bed later quit smooking and eat the right foods to prevent this or to lower your chances, thanks for taking the time for reading this horrible thing that happened to me |

Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!
|
I feel your pain (or at least I once did). I've been battling a serious disease of my own for more than a year and along the way one of the meds they tried on me wound up nearly giving me a heart attack (I wound up with severe chest pains). I went to the ER and they put me through every diagnostic test imagineable. I had insurance at the time so I didn't get bent over that badly (what they didn't cover wasn't that bad), but I did find out what the full bid was and I'm sure that I gave someone at my HMO a heart attack.
In regards to your medication problems you're a bit in luck as I can somewhat help you with this. Go to http://www.RxHope.com (a former employer of mine [my .com that I used to work for]) and browse their patient assistance listings to see if your meds are covered. Even if they don't have an online app for it every pharmaceutical company has a PAP for their meds and can help you out. If their database is anywhere as good now as we had it then you should at least get the contact info that you need. You can also try http://rxassist.org/ and see if they have the PAP forms and contact information that you need. PM me here, ICQ me, or send me email to webmaster@adultpicweb.com if you need help navigating through the PAP process. |

Sounds like you know what's at stake. Blessings, man.
 You gotta paypal account? I'm only a poor hippie, but I think I can chip in a few. Maybe if enough hippies get comunal n schtuff, it'll help. My long term Rx: oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats cooked stovetop) in the mornings, a little fish, and flax seed. Tip: make oatmeal with a good amount of (soy) milk, a pinch of salt, and a few table spoons of brown sugar. Mix in the flax seed before you cook it stove top style and you won't even know it's there. Flax and oats aren't supposed to be punishment afterall.  Rice is also good to eat with high cholesterol foods - it's one of the best absorbers of ingested cholesterol. Don't doubt the power of omega fatty acids. A friend of mine dropped 30 points only taking omega infused fish oil capsules with breakfast. Exercise is boring. If you can find one thing you can do at least 10 minutes every day that's fun - like taking a walk or wrestling with angry lesbians - you'll be doing quite a lot. The important part is fun - give yourself motivation that'll actually motivate. Nicotine's killer... hippie's lost his fair share to the devil's weed. Don't... just don't...  One more thing: take an art class... painting, martial arts, metal sculpture, hacking at tree stumps with a chainsaw, anything! Whatever you do, don't take it seriously. Have fun with it. Don't ask me why, just do it. If you do, you won't need me to explain why, you'll have figured it out by the time you're done.

Jesus, that sucks Plateman. My father had 3 heart attacks before he hit the age of 30. And still today, he eats the same as always, smokes at least 2 packs/day and really gets no exercise. Just by living till now, he seems to have beaten the odds.
Changing your entire way of life is a hard challenge. I wish you the best of luck with it. |

Glad you made it Plateman. That was a close call. When I was younger I was ten feet tall and bullet proof. The older I get the shorter I get and the bullets are getting closer. I guess it's time for a lifestyle change for me. (Eat better, quit smoking, exercise, etc.)

Wow plateman, sorry to hear that! Here is some suggestions I have to pass along, from a woman who dropped her cholesterol 91 points.
1. everything virgo hippy said. The first two below definitely take: 2. Policosanol (I take 40mg you can get at walmart) 3. Gugulipid (I take 1,000mg) 4. Fish Oil 5. Flax Seed Oil 6. Lethicin 7. CoQ10 If you need to take scripts, see if you dr. will perscribe you stuff on the walmart $4/month list. There is a LOT of cardiac drugs on that list. My dr. just put me on stuff for my arthritis, and it was only $4/mo. Remember, WORK OUT A PAMENT ARRANGEMENT with the hospital. They CANNOT force you to pay it all at once. Come up with an amount you can afford, pay that every month, and stick to it. As long as you make monthly payments, they can't turn you in for not paying the bill. I have done this 2x in my life so I'm speaking from experience. Good LUCK, take care, so sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you.

I thank all those who have posted nice and encouraging words, and I thank those who gave, like the shemp, brav, and kinky jones, without those kind donations I dont know what I would do...
i spent a whole day looking for a samples of plavix(just 1 of the meds I'll need) for atleast a month, i even opened the phone book to call all the heart doctors in town to see if they had any samples and they all said no because it was released into generic, 30 pills of the generic form is 115.00 its gona be tuff for a while, i have put some stuff on ebay even well anyway thanks to all |
