@jeanne5009, My friends have told me that I know more about the inside working of my body that anyone that they know. It sounds to me like you are soon to be in the same elite group. I do hope that you will get an appointment soon. However, I will add that sometimes if your need is an urgent one, your PCP can get you in to an appointment sooner that you can do it. Well - sometimes - Several years ago I was having breathing issues (Diagnosed as asthma possibly related to tapering off long term prednisone) After pulmonolgist finished his eval, my PCP was going to arrange an appointment with cardiologist and his office would call me later that afternoon. Instead, I had a frightening episode, and so my PCP had me go the the local hospital for overnight observation and he requested a cardiologist. Would you believe that the cardiologist did not even show up until next morning, and he never even got back with me for the results on a test that my PCP had already ordered. My husband and I had to call in Patient care representative to get a discharge order from my PCP. But I did get an appointment with a cardiologist for the following Monday!

With the changing season and weatehr coming, is there any change in the air quality and the red tide on the beaches?
Keep in touch. I send you a big hug.

Lol...now I get to study the heart! Abnormal EKG and the worst bloodwork Ive had in a year. Ammonia level is HH at 125 , creatine is up too. Just got these labs in my own hands for analysis...keeps me busy.
Im pusuing a cardio appt at Mayo, the former head of the cardio transplant group at Tampa General too. My hapatologist at TGH s working on that one too.
Meanwhile..my heart is fluttering...must be Spring!
