Re: [Beurgers Disease] uk guy 33 lost limb

hi my name is collette and my husband danny was diagnosed with this beurgers
about 2 yrs ago now .he has not lost any limbs Thank GOD but he came very
close. one doctor wanted to amputate his finger but the dermatologist said with
the GOOD LORD'S HELP and his he was going to try and save his finger and he
did.i have NEVER NEVER saw anyone in so much pain it was awful. he had to have
open heart surgery three bypasses in march 2003 and then in june he had to have
a bypass done on his left leg. he says the pain was no where near the pain he
had in his finger. his finger looked like you had poured acid on it it was
black and it just looked awful. he has tried to quit smoking but has not
succeeded yet. we have had terriable fights over this. because you must quit
smoking
with this disease or you will lose your limbs. i will PRAY for you and i hope
you are a Christian and you can PRAY for us also GOOD LUCK and we hope to hear
from you collette
