Have Heavy Feeling Legs; And Have Trouble Walking, And Lifting

Have heavy feeling legs; and have trouble walking, and lifting my legs up and down. Ankles, and feet swell from water retention every day. I can walk about ten feet, and begin wheezing, and wheeze when standing still just chopping lettuce. My legs are numb allot right down to my toes. My legs cramp up at night, and I have to get up and stand to stop it. SOMETIMES THAT DOSE NOT WORK RIGHT AWAY EITHER. I trip because my leg will not raise high enough to step up, and I will not know till I've fallen forward, by tripping. It's hard to go down stairs at times to. I'm weak, ad have MDS a condition where my blood will not generate white blood cells right. My platletes were 111 at ER a few weeks back. Been as low as 97. Use a handheld Combivent Respimat 3 times a day, Have a hard time breathing. Use C-PAP at noc to breath with. Hard to shower, getting in and out of tub. Hard to bend over to dress, and put socks on even. Just dressing is hard on my breathing. Hard to wipe my bottom even, it strains me, and takes my breath away. Only relief I get is in the pool, where I can exercise. The water releaves my pain where I can move freely. But Icannot be in water 24/7. I'm in pain allot. Have arthritis in hips and joints, hurts to move normal. Have degeneration in back, was 5 2 1/2, now 4 11 I shrunk. Have nodules in my lungs, which has a long name for it. Thrumbuloses? Had Hep C but now dose not show up in blood, cured I believe, but could come back I'm told. High blood pressure. just for starts
