hi i have been on before what a year ,started with sciatica which meant could hardly move for a month, then a really bad flare up of diverticulitis , took another month to recover but found when i got back on my feet i was getting breathless first i thought it was because i hadn't been walking enough so started to build up to longer walks this didn't help and it was getting worse my doctors were not very sympathetic but after waiting for one test after another one showed enlarged chamber and now i have been told i have heart disease and need a op so please anyone out there when your body tells you there is something wrong keep telling your doctor its your body its your life

I am proud of you that you held your ground. I had the similar issues happen to me I had to go to my doctor and tell them I had M S they said to me don't jump to conclusions. If I wanted to have it needless to say I don't have that doctor anymore. Then another time I fell in my sons room on a toy and New I did something bad I went to the ER and again the doctor pushed against my chest and back and said no you don't have anything wrong. well I wanted a chest X-ray the tech looked at my chest and New I had done something.

I went back to the exam room and the doctor opened the door and said you have a cracked rib and she said I'll be right back. My husband said to me look you diagnosed your self with MS and now this jokingly he said may be you should play the lottery maybe I should have.

You are so right you need to be your own advocate.
