Hubby has a problem getting blood drawn, and he is unable to donate blood at all because he gets nauseated from the former and passes out from the latter.

Are you over all that stuff except for your heart’s being weaker? Is there any way that you can strengthen it again by exercise? What did the doctor say?

For me, my blood pressure crashes when I get stuck with a needle.
(60 over 50, heart rate 60. That was fun.)
Nothing wrong with my heart, it was everything else that got slammed by mono.
Mono attacks your endocrine system, so pretty much adrenal, thyroid, etc etc got hurt.
So while I burn off calories at an accelerated rate, hence why I cannot gain weight, I don’t get the energy from it that I should be.
