problems with criculaton

for those of you know me you will know of the struggles with heart disease and poor circulation my husband has struggled with for years. well now he is having laser to help with the circulation to the eyes. the other day he went blind in one eye for about two hours. the doctor has said that he is not getting blood supply to his optic nerve. i never would have thought that this might happen but hey why not? apparently in eastern european heritage it is a trait some inherit from their parents very small capilliaries carrying the blood to different areas of the body. i am a bit shaken but to-morrow he will have laser surgery to try and arrest this and facilitate better circulation to this area. he has a good attitude and this really helps. jessie

I constantly suffer with cold hands and feet and seems to have got worse since having my pacemaker fitted in 2008.

thanks all
