It is three days before Christmas and I have been feeling particularly grateful, extremely happy and at peace. When I look back to last year, I was miserable but didn't know what the problem was. For two years I suffered from near fainting, trouble breathing, night sweats, constant fatigue . I had to even stop talking to my family about it, they were beginning to think I was a hypochondriac. I went to every specialist I could. My pulmonologist suggested I take tranquilizers; it was all in my head.

When I was finally properly diagnosed I had the PM inserted immediately. I was very tired for the two months following the insertion but now I am actually jogging at 66 years of age and feel great. You really don't appreciate your health until you don't have it. I guess my point is, you have to really shake the medical trees; you are your own best advocate. It doesn't matter what is wrong with you, you just need someone to pay attention.
At any rate, I am feeling so great! I am really looking forward to Christmas this year. Happy holidays to all of you.
