JUST RECENTLY DIAGNOSED W/BEURGERS...I HAVE SMOKED OVER 30 YEARS AND
I AM 48 NOW. I HAD MY THIRD HIP REVISION IN NOVEMBER 2003, IT HAS
BEEN DOWNHILL SINCE. ALTHOUGH MY HIP IS FEELING BETTER IT SEEMS AS
THOUGH THIS STUFF IN MY FEET IS GETTING ME NOW. I STOPPED SMOKING ON
JUNE 7, 2004, I HAVE SNEAKED A PUFF HERE AND THERE BUT I HAVEN'T HAD
A WHOLE CIGARETTE SINCE. I AM USE TO 2 1/2 PACKS A DAY SO I THINK I
AM DOING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. I AM ON ACTONEL 35 MG. FOR OSTEOPOROSIS,
CARDIZEM LA 180 MG. FOR BLOOD PRESSURE, ZOCOR 40 MG. FOR HIGH
CHOLESTEROL, PLAVIX 75 MG AND COUMADIN 5-5-10 MG FOR CIRCULATION.

AM I GONNA MAKE IT OR IS THIS MEDICINE GONNA KILL ME FIRST.

I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING YET BUT I HAVE A LOT OF PAIN IN MY TOES AND
FINGERS AND MUCH DISCOLORIZATION.

I HAVE READ A LOT INCLUDING THIS SITE...I HAVEN'S SEEN VERY MUCH THAT
IS POSSITIVE. EVERYONE SAYS NO SMOKING, OK I CAN DEAL WITH THAT. BUT
I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY SAYS THAT THEY GOT VERY MUCH
BETTER.

I NEED THE POSITIVE REALLY REALLY BAD.

THANKS, KATHY IN SOUTH CAROLINA...A YOUNG 48 YEAR OLD IN A 98 YEAR
OLD BODY...TRYING TO GET OUT.
