Man, you're going through a tough spell. That staph infection last week and now this. Please get well soon, Don. Everyone here is pullin' for ya.

Good news, I think. They did EKG and ran a bunch of blood tests, took Xray. Everything negative. They scheduled me for a stress test.
However, I'm convinced it was reaction to the antibiotics I was taking for the staph infection.
When I think back, the problems started about the time I started taking them, and around 2 hours after each dose I would have a tightening of the chest and my blood pressure would go way up.
Needless to say, they changed my antibiotics.
Evidently the nitro tabs I had were no longer good. They expired two years ago and I had never taken one until this came up.
Thank you for your support!

That's good news! Keep it up.

Hang in there Don!

Don, yes good news so far... I assume they are going to take 3 enzyme tests 6 to 8 hours apart to make sure there was no cardiac activity?

Geez Don,
I feel like an idiot. I just read this complete post for the first time. I never opened it before because I thought it was just one of your silly music gig prank post, and I've been real busy trying to figure out how to get off this Prilosec that I've been taking since it was invented.

There are claims that it causes joint pain and it seems since I started taking it years ago I blamed all of my joint pain on arthritis. MSM chondroitin and Glucosamine has kept me going.

My neighbor's been very sick with a zillion problems. It all happened last year with having all of his teeth pulled with gum disease. Anyway he started last week taking "Mastic Gum" and swears his heartburn has disappeared completely. He gave me a few to take and in 24 hours I feel better. So I'm ordering a 30 day supply.

Don, I'm so sorry that I missed this post. Man I pray the best for you Susan and the boys and their families. I will keep up with this post now. I love you and please give Susan my best.

Hey big guy...you get better real quick, and don't overlook anything. Make sure everything is checked out.

As Joe said, "Hang in there, Don."
