I had a renal nurse come out and visit me at home yesterday , she was fantastic! She stayed over 3 hours with me , covering things that worried me and generally chatting , which was nice , just to have some company and actually talk face to face with someone who understands it all, and she really does understand! She thinks the pains may be a few different things ranging from Angina to stress to phosphorus , but cant say which for sure. Im pretty certain it wasnt a panic attack , but i have felt like i have been having those since it happened. She has also diagnosed that im depressed , which i didnt realize , i just thought 'mood swings'. So the outcome is , she is picking me up on Monday for a one to one with the 'top doc' at the unit . No doubt more tests will be done to try and find out whats going on (i hope)! So i will let you know after monday if they find anything. In the meantime thanks for all your good wishes and kind thoughts , i f i ever win the lottery im going to get us all together, somehow, somewhere !!! :grouphug;

Finally, you are getting the kind of attention you deserve.
Your renal nurse sounds very caring. Hopefully you can figure out an answer to this episode you had.
Good luck to you.
