Went to ER yesterday after sleeping two days. Fully expected them to keep
me a few days. Poked me a few times, gave me a bag of "stuff". Feeling
like crud, sleeping for days at a time, having night sweats. Going to
regular doctor Friday. Blood cultures in lab for hantavirus and a couple of
other exotic things found in this area. COPD mentioned. Two coughs at a
time, nothing comes out. All day, all night. Feel like crapola. This
getting old sucks.

Sounds indeed like Hanta or hay fever of some sort.

For the last year..Ive been dragging also. Sleeping more than 6 hours,
like the dead.

Im not sure how much of this is depression, how much is the heat here
in the desert, how much is being off most of my heart meds.

I think Im low on testosterone as well. And the sudden appearence of
Peyronie's disease...that was quite a shock.

Go see the vet, if you can afford to. I wish you well.

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.

Hey Steve,

Hope you get better, and real soon.

Always a good philosophy in health matters....
"The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Grease!!".

And be sure to have a loved one alongside you asking questions and
taking notes....keeps the "Give him an aspirin and send him home !"
health providers alert.

If I had done that, my son may well still have been with us.

Good Luck. Take care.

Yeah, that one big downside of living alone.

Nobody had your back..
