Too afraid to go to sleep...

It was one of those nights where I was too afraid to go to sleep, as I didn't know if I was gonna wake up. I had many of those. This night, it was so bad, could hardly breath, yet I had my appointment at mayo in about 10 days. My thought process was; if there was something that had to be handled NOW, at least I would be in a place I could trust. I had been down this road many times going to the ER in Vegas. Doctors didn't have a clue in Vegas... so I went to Mayo.
I would go back in approx 10 days where I would FINALLY be diagonised... and then the journey started.

    Dan, thank you so much for telling your story. This disease is so tricky to diagnose and I think a lot of people are never diagnosed properly. It's nice to share similar stories about this journey we are on. Stay strong and good luck with the new pacemaker.

    Thank you for posting. Your 4+ minute video brings so many thoughts and experiences from my journey to my mind. I've felt the void in the pit of your stomach when you have no idea what tomorrow will bring. And the relief when someone begins to have answers and finally at least there is a path forward. Thank you for expressing these feelings much more eloquently than I have been able to. 💛

    You're welcome Julie. I think it's a feeling we've all had... it's hard to explain to others or have others relate to the feeling.

    I so sympathize, those trips to the ER and night of breathlessness are hell on earth, I was in that place before I was treated for my condition too. My doctor at Mayo Clinic saved my life.

    No... just stared videoing after diagnosis. Weigh loss, weakness, fat loss, a-fib. I really didn't know how bad i was looking until I attended a charity event run by one of by friends who is a leukemia survivor... he said to me with concern... are you ok?
