    I'm a veggie. I don't think it makes any difference. How is your husband ?

      He's not good. Right now he's on 17 different pills for it, plus 2 nite patches 0.8 mg/hr . And the nitro spray as needed. He was in icu. for 4 days on a nitro drip it took forever for it to start working they had to give him diloded too.every time they took him of the nitro drip it would start back up. He has chest pains daily. Multiple on most days. He's had two heart attacks & coded on them in Feb. He had a sympatheticomy in August that got it to every 4 days for awhile. Now it's everyday again & worse then ever. His heart is only working at 30% now. They said he's immune to the nitro now. I'm grasping at anything. I even asked about a heart transplant. The Dr. said he doesn't know of them ever doing one for this.
