Hi Lisa,

The problem I have with going to a Mayo is first, there are none in Las Vegas, where I live, secondly, I'm single and have 2 dogs to care for and third, I'm the manager of a Vegas show so leaving for any period of time is kind of out. I thought for sure that ONE of these 6 cardiologists here in Vegas would have figured this out by now but somehow they're just not connecting the dots. I'm really starting to think that my palps are in correlation with my kidney issue, I have stones lodged in my kidney's that have made my BUN ( Blood Urea Nitrogen ) levels really high in my blood tests, the Urologist said she didn't want to use lithotripsy to remove them because they were so small, BUT they still haven't passed since I first went to her in June 2016 so now I'm thinking that the stones are now irritating my kidneys to the point to where they're not putting out the right potassium levels on their own. I have another appointment with her on Friday.
