    About Me

    Married for 19 years to my beautiful wife. I have two teenagers, my Daughter is 18 and is a freshman at UNLV her major is in Poly-Sci and she would like nothing more than to get into politics and someday be President. My Son just turned 17 wants a car, so he's working to save money. If his grades fall below a B he will be walking for a long time. They are both great kids and give me tremendous strength. I am lucky to have all three so close during these times. I've had Graves for five years and I'm feeling much better but I'm still a little weak and can't overdue things like I used to. I'm having my fifth eye surgery on April 17th, this time on my eye muscles so that I won't be cross eyed anymore and no more double vision, I hope it works.

    • Close Graves' Disease

      I've had Graves since 03, I just had my 4th surgery on my eyes which made them look a lot better however, the last one also left me mildly cross eyed. I am understandably down right now and can use a little support. Maybe speaking to others and helping them out will help me as well.

      Treatments

      Tapazole Working / Worked
      It lowered my TSH but did not help my eyes from getting worse. So I took RAI. Now I take Levoxyl and Cytomel.
    • Close Diverticulitis

      I had Diverticulitis for many years, It was so painful I would lie in bed for days and just breath like I was giving berth. I never went to a gastro for fear of surgery and no insurance.

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
      I had Diverticulitis so bad that it would abscess until I finally went to urgent care then had to rush to the hospital before it ruptured and I died. A short time later I had surgery Dr.s removed 31cm of my large intestine and Ive been pain free for over 10 years.
    • Open Sleep Apnea

      My wife tells me I have it after speaking to my DR. So it's time to get tested and find out more about it.

    • Open High Blood Pressure

      I developed High Blood Pressure after I gained weight from having Graves Disease.

      Treatments

      Cozaar Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes my BP is still high.
      Diovan HCT Working / Worked
      worked ok most of the time.
