Let us know if you test positive for HIV.

Hopefully, it will be several years before I need it, so I expect some major advances to take place. I don't know if it will help or not, but I am taking vitamin K hoping that might reduce calcification.

But they were going to die soon, so the risk was worth it. Please do. Otherwise, we might think the vaccine killed you!

No, I'll be 72 next month and had TAVR a little over a year ago. I'm hoping it will be my late 70's before needing this valve replaced, so if the Foldax is available then that should mean I won't have to worry about replacing it again.

Or 5 to 10 years. This is the 1st of its kind vaccine. I may change my mind in a month or 2, but for right now I have decided to probably not get it. I think once the pharmaceutical companies make their money back, there will be some great therapeutics for treatment. Since I never get a cold...

I'm hopefully at least 5 years from needing my valve replaced, so I sure hope this pans out. I don't think I'll make it to 90, but I wouldn't want to have valve replacement at that age.

I think in the US we will reach 20% of the population who has been infected with Sars-cov2. Probably another 20% have natural immunity. When we reach 100 million vaccinated in US, that puts the total either vaccinated or with some level of immunity at over 70% of the population. What we...

This is an older Staying the Course thread, but since we talked about Covid-19 and the vaccine, I will add my comment here. This is my brief analysis of the data provided by Moderna and Pfizer regarding their vaccines. I think I did this correctly, but please correct if I am wrong. The...

It is nice to be able to go to any doctor anywhere in the country without having to get approval, as long as they accept Medicare.

I was going to change from F to G last year, but my insurance agent said that I couldn't because I just had 2 stents and TAVR. I think I remember her saying that after some time period with no new problems I could apply to change. If anyone knows differently, please let me know as I could save...

I've got a question about the Covid-19 vaccine. It seems that some people will be vaccinated as early as December. I want to take a trip (for health reasons), but I think the risk/reward with Covid says stay home. So I did some research, trying to find out when I might be eligible for the...

Once I found an interventional cardiologist that I had complete faith in, I trusted him to select the right valve.

It might be too late now, but if possible, I recommend you get a 2nd and maybe a 3rd opinion.

What's your thoughts on the Covid vaccine? Do you plan on getting it as soon as it's available? I have mixed feelings. Part of me says get it because I'm not getting any younger and there are things I want to do. The other part of says at my age, side effects could be very serious. I'm...

I hate exercise. I'm bored within the first 2 minutes. Yesterday I spent about 3 hours cutting grass and today about an hour to finish up, then about 1 hour of leaf blowing, then painted part of the brick wall where the paint was getting worn, painted part of the well pump house, and watered...

My front yard slopes steeply down to the road. About 20 years ago (before I bought the house), the road was widened to 4 lanes and the result was the slope of the yard was made much steeper. I tried cutting with a riding mower, but almost flipped over. Tried with regular mower and it wore me...

I do have problems with EMF, but they result in rapid heart beat. I have addressed this by keeping the head of the bed at least 6" away from the wall and about 12" from any outlet or cord. I checked room a couple of days ago and there is minimal EMF.

As soon as I was awake enough to feel the shaking, I tried to see if by feel I could isolate what part of my body it was coming from. As soon as I did that it stopped, so getting out of bed would definitely have stopped it. This is my 3rd day since I stopped the supplement and I didn't...
