Get to Know Your Community: About Connect Page

I fell I have sufficient experiences to enable me to help others and hopefully to receive consultations regarding my existing conditions. I can explain in more detail given to the correct section if you could provide further direction. My problems briefly relate to having two spine operations and suffering long term pain controlled by Fentanyl. A benign inner ear tumour that eventually shrank but left me with deafness and tinnitus. A recent 6.5 cm Atrial Myxoma tumour has been removed and I am taking blood thinners. I have a Bronchiectasis lung disorder. Hopefully this little list helps someone worse off!
