    • Close Angina

      I have unstable angina, with it came a mini stroke a heartattack, double bypass,and 2 stents. I have angina everyday I take nitro under the tongue & pain meds. I stared this right before my 47th bday. Ive made it to 50, but everyday I feel Like it may be my last. Ive gotten to the point im sick of meds & docs. Ive tried accupunture & chelation. accupuncture was the best but costly. chelation put me in the hosp. I have blockage LAD 30% all distal vessels are shot. Now, I'm just living with it.

    • Open Amyloidosis

      I have amyloids I found out about a couple of years ago. The first one I noticed is on my left leg shin area. I was sent to a dermatologist, they did a punch, results was pos. for amyloid. I now notice these patches on my forehead all over my legs. I am going back to the Dr. I'm kinda concerned with what I'm reading Gosh its been a couple of years. I didn't get much info at the time I was told what this is. I really need more reliable info.
