DEAN BICKMORE

Hi,

My name is Dean Bickmore and I have just completed my own website for people who have pacemakers. I have had a pacemaker for 18 years. During any type of physical or mental activity I will experience serve dizziness and then pass out sending me into Cardiac Arrest. I have died several times on the operating table requiring a jolt stimulating my heart to beat again?

This disease has lead to several types of medical problems. Since I suffered from severe Vertigo I was given a drug back in the 80s called Scopolamine to lessen my symptoms. At the time they had no idea in 1994 this drug would be pulled off the market by the FDA. I had to enter the hospital to be weaned of the medication. I had taken the drug for 8 years continuously every 3 days and the drug company had never heard of anyone taking the drug for so long. Long story short they did not know what type of long term affects I would have since I had taken the drug so long. I have been diagnosed with the following - OCD, Depression, Chronic Fatigue, Low Testosterone, Low Thyroid, ADHD, along with the implant of my pacemaker.

My website is geared to help others sharing information with others. My goal is to create a Conference bringing patients and doctors together for a common goal. Creating a forum where patient can have their voices heard where the doctors will listen.

I also want to create a foundation where others who can afford the pacemaker can get help with some of their medical bills.

I am also giving others with a pacemaker their very own free email address from my site using the poweredbypacemaker.com for you email address.

I am developing the site for you allowing you to make suggestions for improving the site to fit your needs. Check out my site and tell others about my site leave me something on the message board so others can contact you it is your site. Check it out and let me know what you think…
