I love the Mayo Clinic. I have been to the one in Jacksonville several times. I also have Osteogenisis Inferfecta. This is a genetic disorder that causes low burn density, blue sclera, and petite stature. On July 7, 2011 I had a dissection of my carotid artery. We were in Florida. The best end of vascular near a radiologist who is also double boarded in neurosurgery took care of me. I had an adverse reaction to TpA, the a stroke. I spent three months in Florida. I had a craniotomy. I lost the ability to speak the English language. I had to go to Speech Therapy every day for six months. Dr. Bellew told me that I couldn’t go back to work for two years. I’m that type a personality, I went back after nine months. After a year of working, I realized it was too much. My rheumatologist told me it was time to stop. This is perhaps one of the worst days of my life. However, when I look back, I know it was the greatest decision.

You have really had it tough. While I had open heart surgery in Rochester in 2016, I have had virtually relatively little problems. I finally reacted to the methotrexate and am no longer taking it. I can’t say that it made a difference. What made a huge difference was going on a blood thinner after being diagnosed with A-Fib. I trust Mayo to handle that too. Good luck to you..wishing you the best!
