Has any body ever had or has thoracic syndrome outlet. and how long did it take you to get diagnosed?

after being hospitalized 8 or 9 times and a angiogram i was diagnosed
by doc an at ucla the first doctor said working dose not cause blood clots
she said i was white trash and if i try to claim workmans comp she would say i was iv drug user.and she said i was nothing but white trash. i lost every thing and was force to work and i kept loosing my jobs because i couldnt perform or was hospitalized.

It took me three years to get diagnosed because it is not on the high list of serious problems and the symptoms can lead the Medics into different areas.

It has been two years since I have had problems but it took that whole time for the neurologists to figure it out. So basically it was hell. Report It
