And that's exactly why I'm posting; if it saves even one woman from being misdiagnosed, then it's worth it to share. I'm not proud to say that I've made bad choices (and NO, none were illegal), but it's scary that women are dying of MI's when they don't have to! I hope that I didn't receive any special consideration because I'm an RN there; the charge RN seemed to know EXACTLTY what was happening!

Thanks for sharing your story. I am older than you. Nearly all of my paternal relatives have died of MIs, all 8 of them. I frequently forget this and ignore what my body is telling me. You know how we do. I keep saying I need to get my C-reactive protein, and homocysteine levels checked, and then I don't.
Get better, Husker-Nurse. Live well, and prosper!!! And thanks again for sharing.
