Hey again! I have a song that's perfect for us. It's called Candle by The White Tie Affair. Part of the song goes; "I'm so tired of being sick and tired". That's how I feel somedays. Anyway, I realize that someone in the medical field needs to know about the pain so I can get some relief, but the methods they use are so primative!! I've had at least 10 vials of blood taken, 1 Holter, and a few chest X - rays. I find it strange that no ECHOs, stress tests, or tilt tables were performed, but they drew blood like vampires!! Is this the 17th century where bloodletting was supposedly the cure for everything??? Rawr. Thanks for letting me whine again!! :)
