To Jacee and everyone I finally got a call back from my cardiologist and my general practitioner early this morning and they are having a new medication delivered to me this morning. So a bit of a false alarm. But when it comes to the heart anything can cause panic. I do have two appointments with t...

To AD H My sister wanted to check in on how you are doing. She says other than the copper taste the other things you are experiencing probably means you are allergic to the dye. This will probably get worse with every CT so you need to have it noted in your medical file. We both hope your results sh...

Of course it is totally up to you. Keep in mind there are hundreds of pleasant people to converse with and who would welcome you ba...
