Thank you for writing. So you think this may be capillary blood flow loss?  I will talk to the doctors about that.  Any more information you can give me is greatly appreciated.  I have another doctor's visit on Friday.  I am now requesting to see a cardiologist and pray it gets approved.

And yes, by Lucy saying her system is harmless, that means we needn't worry about how hard we pump.  There really need to be a pressure gauge or how the hell do we know what is too much?

Sadly my symptoms are only getting worse, perhaps as the weather cools down.  I am sleeping sitting up to reduce numbness but it's no longer helping.  I fear a stroke or heart attack could happen any day. I crave hot showers and smoke, chemicals and coffee flare me up big time. My neck is still very swollen most often which to me suggests pooling of blood and my veins are almost non-existent on my left arm. All of these things point to blood vessel damage. I need to get a cat scan of my neck I feel.  The x-ray wasn't powerful enough.
