I guess I'm paying the price of all those years of excess.

One things for sure , if I'm going down then I'm going down fighting.
You need to look into ( Chea-lation ) I may not have spelled that right but it's close. You can search online for a doctor near you that beleaves in this kind of therapy to clean your viens out without killing you and without life threatening surgery. Only real side effect is maybe wieght loss because everything has a metal kind of taste so food is just not as good but it wears off.
Therapy is an IV bag at the doctors office once a weeks. It was first used in world war 2 to clean the led out of the peoples blood that worked in the amunitions. Led poisoning is very bad. Then they found that it slowly cleans out th whloe vascular system. This is a very well kept secret around heart doctors. Mine said it would kill me while he was looking at the book about it. Last time I saw him. Any way it may take many weeks to start to see the good but you didn't get this way over night either. Best part is only about 150 at the doctors and some insurance are paying for it now. Have you seen the price for a stenth or bypass surgery is ? Just two stenths has finally put me into bankrupt.

Rambling, So check it out you got nothing to lose.
