Ok, so in the last few weeks I've been seeing a "super" doctor over at Jefferson in Philly. He changed my meds around and it has made a HUGE difference. My blood pressure is much better, I'm not as dizzy, I haven't passed out (or even been near it). The only problems are that I am still exhausted all the time and I am very weak. My muscles have started to shrink in my legs, so I'm starting physical therapy at home to get my muscle mass back. Its hard, but I hope its worth it. Overall I feel better, but not well. Kind of feels like how you feel the day after you have a really tough workout and you haven't done much in a while. Very tired, weak, and hurt all over. Its not perfect, but its a step in the right direction, and therefore it gives me hope.

My legs are losing muscle and it is affecting my gait. I ordered a recumbent bike (should be here next week) to help with leg strength and cardio workout... I figure it will be good for me to excercise sitting so my hr wont increase right away making me short of breathe
