Heart troubles...

[epackage]

I here you Bob, I used to get the best workout at work being in Commercial plumbing, but things are so bad work wise that I've become sedentary and kind of depressed because of the lack of work. All things that work against me, hopefully the doc tells me I can start working out so things change for the better... Having to wait until the 10th just adds to my stress level...

You'd have to check with your doctors, but for mild depression or problems that arise from not getting enough mental/physical stimulation I'd suggest taking St. John's Wort. Helps modulate sleep patterns too, in my experience, and it has mild but noticeable calming and anxiety (stress) reducing effects. Pretty awesome herb all-around.

If you're worried about past liver damage or the extra strains exerted by the metabolization of harsh medications upon the liver, I'd suggest Milk Thistle extract. The silymarin is a potent antioxidant and general "liver protector" and although an outlying example, I read a case where a man who smoked and drank heavily for 30 or 40 years and who had stage 4 liver cancer was "cured" without surgery by taking very large daily doses of silymarin. Ended up dying of stomach cancer a few years later, but still...

It sounds like you are moving in the right direction by making all the right changes... I admire strong people like you. Think POSITIVE and know many people here are thinking and care about you.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the words of encouragement.... Took a long walk today, probably not the best idea, but I want to do something before going back on the 10th...

Long walks are good.. except off short piers .. you will be fine, Jim.. as long as you care about your health, there will be a way to maintain it, God willing..!
