Billie, thanks for the nice words. I never thought about it as "blackout". I just don't remember. Maybe you are right. I am lucky.

The chest pain is not supposed to be related to heart problems. Yet a new test called the hs-crp was 32.20. All of my specialists were interested in that test. I read the accompanying sheet and it says if the score is above 3, reschedule for another test in 2 weeks to see if there was a mistake. I googled it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So I chuckled. I have ... what do they call it ... unstable Angina attacks. If I remember correctly, this score can be an indicator of your chances of a heart attack and the higher the number, the lower your chance of survival. Lost in this little tidbit of news was the fact my PSA jumped from around 5 to 18. As I told my wife, don't worry about Prostate Cancer sugar, the heart attack will get me first. She smiled at my humor.

I am a lot better off than a lot of people on this forum, so I try to be thankful. I don't think I am going to have a heart attack but I may have prostate cancer. If so, the Good Lord willing, I will beat it. I have a current Tetanus shot. So I hope that isn't the problem.
Thoracic diaphragm? Never heard of it. And it has a nerve in that particular area?? I will look for it. You are right about it being debilitating.

I never heard of methylcobalamin. It appears to be a super B-12. I am taking a lot of it right now.

I read that they recommend Vitamin E, B12 and one other for memory. I take them all. I take enough pills (meds and supplements) that I carry them around in a Sears Craftsman canvas tool bag. It is full. Meds and supplements add up to 33 pills/capsules a day.
