Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 That's a much different situation, . I'm glad it didn't detach either. That happened to my uncle whom I suspect has undiagnosed diabetes. What diagnosis did they give you? Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Diagnosis: Hm, that's odd. No, I am not diabetic nor do I have high blood pressure. <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: That's a much different situation, . I'm glad it didn't detach either.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 , you said in a couple of previous posts that you had a heart attack. Did you ever have testing for antiphospholipid antibodies?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I stand corrected. The diagnosis was not " Who knows " that was the cause. Come to think of it, my heart attack had the same cause " Who knows. " There too I had none of the risk factors. Funny thing, I bounced back so quickly, the ICU people [i probably drove them mad, but I just can't pee with an audience, sorry], the physical therapist who couldn't keep up with me, and Drs were dumbfounded. No, I was never tested for antiphospholipid. I'll look into it. Thanks. Cheers <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: , you said in a couple of previous posts that you had a heart attack.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I just checked, I have none of the risk factor that would indicate I have an antiphopholipid problem. Then again, all my diseases always come out of nowhere. Maybe my genetics comes from outer space. Go figure. Take care. <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: , you said in a couple of previous posts that you had a heart attack. Did you ever have testing for antiphospholipid antibodies?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Just trying to keep my sense of humor. I always get diseases no one else gets. It is discouraging. <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by that. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Ha! No, I understood that part, . What I'm wondering about is what you said about the risk factors and antiphospholipid antibodies.
