I suffered a heart attack when I was an OTR truck driver, in 2000,didn/t
have any health insurance.I drove from Ney York to Washington state after having the attack.

Then in 2005 I developed extreme cellulitus...I was in the hospital for a month.Our local hospital has a charity program,so that paid all of the hospital costs.

While I was in the hospital for that, they determined that I have congestive heart failure, and diabetes. When I first went in I was anemic and had a bleeding ulcer beacuse of all the otc pain relievers I was taking for my legs.

I had to go to the ER a few days ago because the cellulitus was returning , they did a culture and found out the bug I had was resistant! It's good that they did the culture and found that out!

I am still in a lot of pain, and I'm not sure that this new antibiotic is really working.

I am on SSA , and I'm trying to get help with prescriptions.
