Because of my autonomic neuropathy I would have autonomic storms ( there are numerous names for this like autonomic dysnomia). It’s worse then dying. It’s like dying but not finishing the dying process.
I also am 65 and it started with Atrial Fib and severe pain in my feel. It felt like the bones in my feel were coming through my skin. All this progressed to where I am today. Hospice has been a great help. Pretty depressing that I’m declining pretty fast. But now when I go to the hospital they tell me there is nothing they can do for me. My last visit was my blood pressure was 60/44 and my oxygen level was 83. I’m now on oxygen 100% of the time now.
