    Cat first of all, do you ever sleep????? Second, I am thinking that until they figure out what is causing the problems with the Heparin that they should stop using it! Or at least find a reasonable replacement. Scary since Heparin is used so frequently. It must be very frustrating for the drug company, besides the legal ramifications to not know the cause.
