Diseases & Conditions - 19 June 2006

I am 56 years old male. I had a heart attack in 1994 and then quad bypass surgery later that year. I receive a small amount each month from Social Security and I have medicare. I also have Blue Cross of Georgia Insurance. I have not been physically able to work on a regular basis for several years, so I have very little income. I have been told I need a heart transplant. I have no idea how I can possibly pay for he cost for this surgery and the drugs I will need after surgery, along with the follow up visits for 8 weeks immediately after the surgery and the fact that I will have to travel 600 miles round trip. I am in hopes that someone can give me any information about any assistance there may be to help me pay for these cost.

He has been put under tylenol. But has been running for low tempeture for 10 days. Initially, he is suspected of phemonia, but chest x ray showed nothing. He doesn't have any complaints of pain in the body except headeache. Feels weak, muscle pain, is this normal? Is this flu or inflamation in the body? What is the best way to diagnose or treat it? He is in the early 70s. Thank you for your tips.

Does anyone here suffer from or know anyone who suffers from hidradenitis supurativa? I'm not looking for links to sites or descriptions. I've been to all the sites and I know everything there is to know about it. I was more or less trying to get an idea of how common it really is. It's claimed to be a very rare skin condition...I'm not a believer in that. I think it's labled "rare" because it's wrongly diagnosed in too many cases and left undiagnosed in even more.
