I had an MRI because off partial hearing loss, 50% in RT ear and 20% LFT e ear, I was told I had a small amount of White Flares d it was associated with old age and cognitative dcline and normal for my age.(84)!!!!and no need to do anything! I also have nueropathy in both feet, varcrose veins,(wear pressure stockings)Charley Horse Cramps in both legs but mostly lft leg. Sore muscles in lft arm...am prediabetic,and stage 3 CKD which I control with diet. I had a bone scan and was told that the designations only go to 70yrs so I am probably ok. I am unsteady a bit in open spaces so use a cane sometimes, my BP is quite low sometimes....90/60 85/58....so I boost it by drinking strong coffee. Recently had cataract op on lft. Eye and that seems okay, I guess..need my eyes as I am a painter with an exhibition coming up in March. But Iam very pissed off to be told that there really is nothing to be done as it is just my age. I dont want to find out down the road that if I had done this or the other simple thing I could have avoided this or that medical situation. I don't like being told we'll wait until it gets worse before doing something....your kidneys will get betterby the selves!!!I.have almost given up going to docters ...my deceased husband was a doctor and lived until 91....I think he would be shocked. So I am stumbling a long, taking note of how he took care of himself and listening to what seems rational ...and doing what I can to maintain good health so I can keep painting. Sorry this is so long...thank you for listening..feel better for "outgrabeing indespair". Take care and walk in peace with Mother Earth
