Corina and Julia, Well I just came back from seing my cardiologist and he told me that my receptors are borderline normal and that I have extremely high adrenaline and norepinephrine levels. He added that I am extremely sick. It made me feel good to be validated by a specialist. He wants me back in 6 months to do some further testing to find why I paralyse when I faint. (He needs to buy the equipment first!). I am very satisfied with my visit with him. I spent a day visiting Niagara Falls (in the wheelchair) to celebrate. I enjoyed every moment of my visit. I am glad I have a wonderful friend who drives me and takes care of me. (Remember her Julia?) We went to the Butterfly garden, on the boat, on the lift, under the falls and we had our supper about 5 feet from the falls. We were soaken wet but so thrilled. I have finally found a Canadian doctor who believes me. He said I have cerebral syncope which he says is extremely rare. He is a friend of Dr Grubb and they have studied medicine together. I was so excited when I left his office. He is the first Canadian specialist who wants to have me as a patient. All the others I saw said that I was "too sick" and just flushed me out. It's a 20 hour round trip but well worth it. Thanks for your support Ernie
