THE TYPE OF DOCTORS THAT HANDLE THE VASCULAR DISEASE CAN BE A CARDIOLOGIST. HOW EVER THE GENERAL MEDICINE DOC I SEE REFERRED ME TO A VASCULAR SURGEON. ONE OF THE TEST WHICH THERE ARE SEVERAL IS A BLOOD PRESSURE TEST. IT IS RELATIVELY PAINLESS BUT EXPENSIVE... ISNT EVERYTHING. BLOOD PRESSURE CUFFS ARE PLACED EVERY FEW INCHES FROM YOUR THIGHS TO YOUR ANKLES AND EVEN AROUND YOUR FEET AND TOES. THEN MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN EVERY FEW MINUTES AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WALK ON A TREAD MILL UNTIL THE PAIN STARTS AND THEN MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN AGAIN.
MY GENERAL MED SENT ME FOR DOPPLAR XRAYS ALSO, BUT THIS WAS FOR MY CAROTID ARTERY, IT CAN BE DONE ON THE LEGS ALSO HOW EVER THE FIRST ONE FOR YOUR LEGS IS THE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF ONE.
I AGREE ABOUT THE STATEMENT OF FIBROMYALGIA HOWEVER MY GEN MED (SHE'S REALLY THE ONLY DOC I TRUST ANYMORE) TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A TEST THAT IS A BLOOD TEST I THINK IT IS A SED RATE?? THAT HELPS IN THE DETERMINATION OF THOSE TYPES OF AUTO IMMUNE DISORDERS.
I ALSO KNOW THAT MY WEAK MUSCLES DEFINETLY ARE MORE INFLUENCED BY THE CATAPLEXY.
PEACE AND SLEEP WELL.... SAMMY
