He was in it for the money .I had 5 mir and 1 mra and lots of blood work that they did over and over they sameone .
My blood doc help me more then he did .
One thing I did was got ALL my record .There you can read what they are think and what there talling other Doc .

I move to canton mich in nov and I have a hard time find a Doc thatdose not think I'm not losing it .I had one that said it was in my head and another said it was just spasms.

Am on HBP med to ,the doc told me that 124/90 is not high to be on HBP med I told him that it was 140/90 that why am on it .

If it just spasma then why the blood thinner .

I just ready to say I give up and stop all my med .

I did the exact same thing.  i got all of my records and i've been reading them.  it's amazing what you'll find out on your own.  things the doctor never mentioned to you.  i have an atrial septal defect with pfo that i was never told about.  i have pains in my chest at night, some nights that make me feel like i'm going to die.  my father died at the age of 43 from a massive heart attack.  i'll be 43 in october and i don't want to be the same as him.  i research and i read.  
no doctor spends enough time with their patient.  it's disgusting.  you are just a dollar sign to them.  you go in and they look you over and sometimes some tests sometimes they make you feel like it's all in your head.  i'll tell you what, if they had this same pain as i do they'd be as worried as i am.

I glad I found you .I do have chest pain some time .Sometime I feel my left sid just go num it like your leg or hand fall a sleep but your moving it when it happens.

[Missy1018]

from my elbows to my hands usually falls asleep.  i can't say that my side goes numb.  my biggest problem is the pains that i get in my left upper quandrant.  it is quite scary at times.  
i'm tired all of the time.  just completely exhausted.  at times i feel like like i cannot function.

Hi

Did they put you on blood thinner to ,I had to doc tell me that because my homocysteine level where normal they told me that there no why I had a tia .
Did your MRI show you had a tia .
How did they show you why .

THIS IS WHAT A LADY SENT ABOUT  MTHFR.
I do not know the details of your MTHFR test.  The MTHFR gene (instruction) makes a specific protein/enzyme involved in metabolism.
Usually the MTHFR test looks at the two copies of gene for changes (“mutations”) that would cause that protein to not function properly.
A person usually needs mutations of both copies of the gene to have higher homocysteine levels and/or medical problems.
From your note it is unclear if you have one (“heterozygous”) or two (“homozygous”) of the C677T mutations.

hi,
last year i had my appendix out and during my recovery i was having a hard time remembering words so i told my doctor.  he sent me for a ct scan which showed something then an mri and it showed a tia.  i am not on any type of blood thinner.
i just started seeing a new doctor last week and i'm hoping we can get a handle on why i feel so badly.  i'm so tired all of the time, fatigued, no energy at all for anything.  i have pains in my chest that make me feel like i'm going to die.  i get migraines a couple of times a week.  i'm just so tired of feeling sick all of the time.
