Coming Up On Week One

Sorry I haven't written in a few days. Just getting through the holidays. This did give a little time for MaxGXL to get into my system. This has been an interesting few days. My wife Susan says, "It's a miracle!"

As I said in my medical history, with my heart problems comes problems with retaining fluid. They call it congestive heart failure. Over the past week, I've cut down on my medication that helps me get rid of fluid. At one point before I was having to triple my daily dose. I'm now on 1/2 dose. Reason being, the swelling in my feet is basically gone. Sounds a little gross but I even had dry skin openings in my feet. This happens because fluid has no where to go. These places have almost healed.

Another big change is my breathing. Before MaxGXL I had a lot of fluid in my lungs. I can already tell the difference. I use to cough so hard and long I would sometimes throw up, just to get the mess out of my lungs. In the past few days, this hasn't happened at all.

The main thing is the relief in the pain in my feet. At this point, I'm completely off pain medication. All the crap I was taking could not have been good for my stomach, much less my entire system. I still have some issues, but over all, I'm feeling better than I've felt in at least 4 years. Susan may be right, MaxGXL might very well be my miracle!
