I had a real chest pain yesterday, not just a twinge.

6. I have tried in the past.

I am not wealthy, so I cannot seek real mental help, but I have tried five county facilities in four states... they love to toss medication but rarely do anything other than see you for fifteen minutes each month to renew your descent into getting addicted to SISDs.

As to the chest pain, going into the emergency room will destroy us, socioeconomically speaking. The debt would engulf us and we have no way to even think about reming such a thing. Besides, I had a quadruple bypass over four years ago. How much longer does one have? Especially since I can't really address things like proper diet. I have been cheating like crazy because the things I am not supposed to eat because of my heart and my diabetes are the things I can eat thanks to my G.I. issues. It's an 'I can't win for losing' scenario.

I am planning to try and make an appointment with 'my' heart team shortly. I don't know what their response will be. I know we cannot afford a hospital visit. I definitely know that.

Thanks.
