"...But You Don't Even Look Sick!"

I found out that my heart was failing in October 2007 at 25 years old.

About me: I am 27, i live in NYC, and I am on a non-stop quest for healing.
I have a chronic illness called Scleroderma / Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. I also have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted in my chest.

The Scleroderma has affected my heart causing it to be 70% covered in scar tissue.

The docs tell me there is no cure for Scleroderma. Yet, I am determined to cure myself.

Thanks for being in my world

What now?!

I was just grocery shopping to fill the barren refrigerator in the kitchen when I felt like I would faint.

I got on the floor in the middle of Whole Foods and stayed there for awhile. I decided to leave my full cart there and just go. I was shaking and I wasn’t sure if I would black out or not. Called T, he came and brought me home.

What is it that’s happening NOW?!!!!

This happened last night as well right after I ate dinner. (I had also just housed a big lunch upstairs at Whole Foods before I started shopping). About thirty minutes after I eat I get a hot flash, naush, and then feel completely drained and can’t even concentrate on anything. I got so confused in there just now.

I’m getting in bed going to try and nap it off.
