I would like to swear now, even though I can't . . . this will have to do.



I thought of this last night but forgot about it today due to weak neck muscles and a raging headache.

WHY the heck didn't they do a chest CT with contrast to rule out a PE (pulmonary embolism, AKA a clot)?!!!! Did they even do a chest x-ray?

There are other things than the heart that cause chest pain. I can't believe they didn't even do a "look see" of your lungs/arteries. Not even funny.

I know I asked before but did they do a D-Dimer?

I really think they are not seeing the whole picture here due to your age. They must think you are Superman or something.

And there is not only APS, which is VERY common for people with autoimmune diseases to have but cardiolipin antibodies too.

Good thought about pleurisy too, Jana.

This is silly, Tyson. They should be thinking about a clot due to all the plasmapheresis you have had plus the thick blood (c-reactive protein, etc.).

Okay, my head is going to explode now so I have to go.
