I will definitely keep a diary of my symptoms, thanks for the idea NurseNancy. I wonder about the pain in my ribs, I often feel achy along the area afterwards, like muscle strain type of achy. But, my grandfather died from a heart attack at 54 and I had an uncle die of heart relate problems in 2007. My mom and my aunt had vascular problems (probably from smoking, I quit 7 years ago). My grandmother had respiratory problems and never smoked a day in her life and had a pace maker though she was in her 90's. I have an uncle that has vascular issues as well.

I can't help but to wonder if I am such a complicated case because my mom was raised on the Love Canal in Niagara Falls. They used to swim in that toxic waste and ice skate on it...this was back in the 50's.

I will update as I find out what is going on. All I wanted to do was sleep today.

Oh yikes!!! I hope all turns out well with your testing. Keeping a journal, as NurseNancy mentioned, is an excellent idea and will be really helpful to you.

The rib pain could be the MS hug. It is not a nice hug. I don't like it at all. Write down what you experience in your symptom log with that as well.

Definitely let us know how you are doing.
