I can't believe they just released the Epstein list and it was just Bill Clinton listed 200 times.

@Robot_Bjorn Been tested for it and came back negative. They did some kind of imaging test as well as a blood draw. Right now im just working with the pain clinic to control the pain from the compression fractures in my lumbar spine. i also have a cardiac cta and mri coming up to assess if, after six months now from the stent placements, i can go off brilenta and aspirin for a few weeks to have the spinal specialist do some interventions like ballooning or that plaster they use. endo is also at the end of this month to start infusions for the bones or at least that is what my primary is expecting him to do.

@Jim Jim, did you ever get around to crowd sourcing your diagnosis? Might want to read up on an autoimmune condition called *Ankylosing Spondylitis* if you haven't already.
A dissolving back, eye problems, heart disease, kidney stones, numbness in legs, and blood cancers are associated with this disorder.
Doctors should test you for HLA-B27.
Other names:
Bekhterev's disease, Bechterew's disease, morbus Bechterew, Bekhterev–Strümpell–Marie disease, Marie's disease, Marie–Strümpell arthritis, Pierre–Marie's disease

@Twoinchdestroya @Robot_Bjorn Nonsense, you just walk into the hospital, look them in the eye, say "your most expensive tests please", and give them a firm handshake.

@Jim @Robot_Bjorn your insurance premium must be insane to cover all that
