    Covid Vaccines

    How did you get to be an authority? Fauci has out and out lied to the American people on more than one occasion and has actually admitted to it. The doctors I listen to and believe are the ones down in the trenches treating Covid-19 patients and keeping them alive, not bureaucrats who haven't...

    Covid Vaccines

    For every so-called expert you quote, I can quote a different one who says the opposite. Is it not true that we are seeing variants for which the vaccines are not as effective as they were for the first 2 or 3 strains? Is it not true that there was a collapse in new cases in India right when...

    Covid Vaccines

    I linked it because it explained perfect and imperfect as regards a vaccine. It also points out, contrary to what others have posted, that an imperfect vaccine "leads to higher levels of intrinsic virulence", meaning variants. Yes, it is the unvaccinated that pay the price, but they might have...

    Covid Vaccines

    Perfect is a scientific term that means a vaccine prevents all infection. The point is, the current vaccines do not prevent all infection. As they don't prevent all infection, they allow virus escape which can result in variants that are less responsive to the vaccines. A recent study in...

    Covid Vaccines

    A Perfect vaccine means that if you are vaccinated, you will not get the disease and will not pass it on. I included a link that explained that. If the vaccine was perfect, the current world strategy would likely work. With up to 25% of those vaccinated infecting others, they can obviously...

    Covid Vaccines

    If I had it to do over again, I probably would not get vaccinated. I did my due diligence, but damaging information about the J&J vaccine came out just days after I received the vaccine. I believe there are equally effective and safer alternatives to the vaccine. We see that the vaccines are...

    Hard to trust many doctors

    I will tell you what I did and I am happy with my decision. It may or may not be right for you. I had TAVR when I was 70. I had severe aortic stenosis, minimal symptoms, and could work in the yard for hours with no problem. At the time I was exploring options, Medicare did not cover TAVR for...

    Staying the Course: It's July, the Heat Is On!

    This is prime tick season. I found a tick on me about 2 months ago and I don't know how long it was attached. I pulled it off and wasn't too concerned as I never developed a bulls-eye rash. I had Lyme disease about 7 years ago from a tick bite, and a person develops immunity to some of the...

    Covid Vaccines

    One of the heart websites has participated in a survey of reactions to the vaccines by people with heart conditions. I don't remember which site is, but someone else here might know.

    St Jude Trifecta failure

    I had TAVR at age 70. I don't expect to make it to 90, so hopefully, I get 10 years out of this valve before it needs to be replaced with another TAVR valve. By then, we can hope the valves are even longer lasting. I spent 1 night in the hospital and I was able to drive after a week. I was...

    Feels Like Muscle Pain Near Heart

    I have been doing a lot of physical work and experienced no chest discomfort or shortness of breath. It's only when I lie down that I feel any discomfort and last night it was barely noticeable. Whatever it was, it appears to be over after about 8 or 9 days.

    Feels Like Muscle Pain Near Heart

    Almost 2 weeks after the J&J vaccine, I had several days of fatigue. I also noticed some discomfort in my heart area, but only when I lay down in bed. No discomfort at all during the day even doing fairly strenuous work. At the time of the vaccination, I had no side effects at all, not even a...

    Meeting the Challenges of Solo Aging

    Living alone is not a big deal if you can stay relatively healthy. If you need a lot of social interaction, then make friends or join groups. I plan on moving to a condo or townhouse in the next couple of years and then being prepared to have to move to an assisted living home or community or...

    Back on the merry-go-round, or just caffeine?

    I bet the hospital has resources to get you a ride home. Is there any chance your insurance will cover it? If they do, you could call medical transport.
