It's hard enough dealing with ESRD without having heart pain on top of it. It's hard enough having ESRD *and* heart pain, without having to keep on kicking docs to get some explanation. I so hope your primary has some ideas of what to do next, and will keep on until it's figured out. Thinking of you Kit and hoping you get some answers soon (and that they are all good too!)

At least work was great about it. I think I put the fear of God in them yesterday.  The VP teased me and said I had too much Superbowl and wanted to go finish my beer yesterday. Oh I wish.

Kit when you took the nitro did they take the pain away? or did the pain go away on it's own? I supposed thats a difficult question to answer but if the nitro took the pain away then my guess is it would be heart related. Do you get any other symptoms associated with the pain? They keep telling me mine is  muscular skeletal and gave me some muscle relaxers, (cyclobenzaprine). They have helped some, but make me thirsty and sleepy.

Yeah it is kind of hard to tell. But the nitro seems to take the pain away. The last episode lasted for an hour and I took three nitro pills.  Then it started to go away. But was it then nitro, I do not really know. I have pain in the muscles on the right side of my rib cage, but this was pain from the inside out located in the middle of my chest. This time it went down my right arm right into the fingers. Scared me that it would not go away. At Kaiser it was finally going away after three nitro pills.

It is kind of scary when you can't pin point what that is because of the typical signs of heart attack. There is an enzyme test they can check in your labs to see if there is damage to your heart, assuming that is the first thing the did it's a tough thing to figure out. Good luck and I hope they get to the bottom of it before it's too late.  :grouphug;

It's especially worrisome since symptoms of a heart attack in a woman are sometimes very different than the "usual" signs that they talk about all the time in the media. Kit, please keep after them for answers!

 :rant; :rant;

I was seen by a new Nephrologist instead of my usual doctor.  God almighty!  Doctors are dumb.  Read the damn chart will ya!  He asks me if I have been seen for transplant.  We all know that story, but he cannot find the surgeon's report on the damned computer. Then home hemo came up and WE all know the story about that!  Damn it.  But he did call the home hemo clinic and say hey what is going on?  I am not quitting work for six weeks. They have to be crazy!  The home hemo people called today.  I TOLD them I work for a living. Sheez!  Yes, I am just sitting around waiting for them to call.  I have a life folks!

Anyway I could have called this appointment in. Why don't they just do it at the dialysis center instead of dragging me into the office!  :rant; :rant;
