On my overall medical conditions, I have a number of major problems.

Recently I have a complete heart blockage, so a pacemaker was installed on my heart.  I am having to sleep a lot to recuperate.  I sometimes have minor chest pains and minor dizziness.

I have had  Schizophrenia effective disorder since December 1983.  For that, I take 3 mg. of risperdone a day.

For a long time, I have had type two diabetes. For that, I take Metaformin HCL 500 mg. a day

For a long time, I have had severe arthritis.

For the last five years, I have had problems walking long distances like the length of Greenwich Avenue.

I smoked for 50 years, and when I had pneumonia last February, I quit smoking and started using a 27 mg. and a 7 mg. nicotine patches a day.  My lungs show the result of smoking, but no lung cancer.  I also use the Anora Ellipta inhaler every morning.

For about four years I have had prostate problems, where I have to go to the bathroom about eight times a night.  For that, I take Finasteride 5 mg. a day.

I have high cholesterol for a long time which I take Atorvastic 40 mg. once a day.

I have Covid 19 about three  years ago.

I weight 225 pound and waist 54 inches, so I am way out of shape.

I have a number of dermatology spots that need to be looked at too.

I see the podiatrist every couple of months to have my toe nails clipped.

Twice for the last number of years, I have had Kidney stone surgery.  That gave me retrograde ejaculation.

About ten years ago, I had severe pancreatitis treated at the Greenwich Hospital.

About 25 years ago, I had a groin hernia repaired.

About every two days, I have major diarrhea.

I woke up with sticky flim in my mouth and throat.  I tried to spit it out in the toilet, but I finally had to pull it out of my mouth with my fingers, and then I drank a glass of water.
