In 2019 my GP writes in her referral letters to Various specialists as follows:
Thank You for seeing Mr Ramchander Krishnaswamy age 71 years for opinion and management
Presenting Problems
Mr Krishnaswamy is a Complex Medical Patient. He has a history of Blah Blah Blah with emphasis on medical issues depending on which specialist she was referring me to.
Today in 2019, I am seeing the following specialists:
1953 - Whooping Cough mis-diagnosed as TB in India
1953 - Inguinal and Hiatus hernia from Coughing for 6 months
1961 - Congenital Discoid Cartilage - Surgery suggested in both knees but rejected by his dad
1970 - Rhinitis / Deviated Septum of the Nose
1976 - Left Sciatica
1980 - Otto Sclerosis & Mild Tinnitus
1982 - Severe Intubation Problem. Stopped breathing in theatre. Awake anaesthesia recommended for all surgeries
1989 - Hypertension & Severe Sleep Apnea
1996 - GORD with Oesophagal ulcers
2000 - CVA - Permanently Dissected Right Vertebral Artery, with Wallenberg and Horner's Syndromes. Now retrograde flow to Right Pica as Right Vertebral Artery is Occluded
2000 - Thrombocytosis (Platelet Count 890)
2004 - Diabetes Mellitus
2010 - Galstone and Renal Calculi
2011 - Enlarged Adrenal Gland
2015 - Diabetes mellitus Type two rediagnosed as Metabolic Syndrome with severe Insulin Resistance
2015 - Spleenomegaly & Fatty Liver
2017 - Myelofibrosis
2018 - Heart Block - Stage 3 Bradicardia
The Devil has failed eight times to knock me out, so has now resolved to destroying each and every part and organ in my body slowly but steadily.
I am still defiant and singing all my blues away every night joining friends singing kareoke using an on line Mob Phone App Called SMULE. These four hours my mind goes Blank. Great way to escape my own nightmares.
I hate waking up these days as I am suffering from splitting head aches and unbearable Tinnitis of two Types; high pitched Loud Ringing in my Right ear that has 85% hearing loss and Pulsatile Tinnitus in my Left ear that makes my heart pounding away since I got the pace maker unbearably Loud. If there was a loaded pistol I'd consider pulling the trigger; that is how bad it is these days.
Pulsatile Tinnitus is there only when I am relaxing and lounging on a sofa or lying flat in bed. Disappears the minute I am on my feet. Some consolation and relief
My only option to mask the ringing is to wear Head Phones all day when I am awake and play loud music to mask the tinnitus. The Music seems to get louder and louder to mask the tinnitus in the right ear but is damaging my left ear more and more.
Pity no one has found a cure for Tinnitus to this day as it is not an Ear Problem but neurological one caused by perhaps some dead brain cells in the brain stem where the infarct is or a damaged auditory nerve.
My GP tells me many people with Tinnitus say they want to end their lives. I am not going to give into the devil. Instead I am going to find a cure for Tinnitus by Hook or by Crook before I kick the bucket.
Getting absolutely fed up. I cannot watch TV or Movies any more nor have decent Phone conversations.
Singing songs on Smule is my only escape from this misery but I can only sing after every one at home goes to sleep as I don't want any one to complain about Noise
Bailey Boy and Bellsy Girl insist on staying awake up to around 2.00 am after which they start to hound me by barking and meowing and all three of us go to bed at the same time after enjoying multiple suppers and snacks.
Bailey sleeps on his own bed on the floor next to my bed and Bellsy cannot wait for me to get under the quilt and she settles on my chest and stays there until I fall asleep, as if she was keeping an eye on dad.
Atleast I am happy when I go to bed as I am with my two God Sends but trust me I am extremely cranky when I wake up around 8.30am every morning and get rid of my full face sleep apnea mask and my nose mouth and throat are dry and burning
I would'nt wish this on my worst enemy.
Trust me.
