[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 163956"] Janet, I watch those shows, too. Those ppl always have finally gotten a diagnosis before they appear on the shows, though. Susie - I do need to be better about letting them know how I'm really feeling. I tend to do the "I'm fine" thing. For so many years I was treated like a hypochondriac so going to the doctor causes me quite a bit of angst. I really just need to lay my cards on the table and let them sort it out. Terry - I have 4 drug-eluting stents. I wondered initially if I was reacting to the stents after it went on for so long after the Plavix was stopped. But my doctor at the time told me it was just that the reaction had gone on for so long and really thinks my reaction was to the Plavix. There is a forum on angioplasty.org that is geared to stent issues and is where I found out about the study. Thing is, if it is the stents, I don't think there is anything they can do about it. At least not without involving major surgery, although I have had thoughts that I just want them out when I'm feeling really bad. Like last night when 2 benadryl - which normally knocks me out - was barely doing anything. My GP is interested, she just doesn't have the knowledge on this subject to be able to really have any input. Some days all of these thoughts and coincidences and how everything has played out runs through my head and I really want to get a handle on it. Other days I don't care what it is, I just want them to fix it. [/QUOTE]
