Re: Gini .. heart attacks and such

Wow....that is the least they can do, I'm sure they know it!!

The heart attack stuff is scarey. For some reason I thought of all the

things we go through that a heart attack would be un-mistackable.

I suppose I need to get a GP...you know the story I have too many special

doctors and really wasn't up to finding a " general " doctor.

Do you mind me asking how old you were when you had your attacks? Did they

give you a reason like medication, family history or anything? Just

wondering if it goes along with the lupus.

take care of yourself,
