No, none at all. Just conserned that all the male in my family
have had this so it is worth checking. I also pay $ 425 a month
for health insurance so I want to see a return on this, it is hard
to come up with. Since both my doc's agree this warrents more study
I don't think my concerns are unjustified. Given that I need to take
35-40 mgs of Dex a day to function does cause me some pause. Your points are
well taken, this all may be random events that are not related, but I pay good
money so we can find out ! Dad had 2 cardologists watching him
for 5 yrs b4 the bypass and no one caught the AAA. He had to
demand they do a study and were quite thankful that dad insisted.
The pathology from dad's AAA could indicate its cause, the cardiologist said.
From the Marfan list I hear that not all marfs have the common physical
traits. While it is common to present early in life with problems, some marfs don't.
The other genetic (assumed) conditions also tend to present later.
I have no ego built into proving I have something,
just time to kill, the internet, and a busy ADD brain !I feel that
when something occures in a family, like all of the men, it is worth checking out.james
