    • Close Heart Failure

      Congenital heart defects, a few surgeries, lots of hospital stays. 30 years and still goin'!

      Treatments

      Digoxin Working / Worked
      Tried the liquid form when I first started (was a kid, and didn't take pills too well). Now take pills, in a low dose. No side effects that I know of.
      Amiodarone Working / Worked
      Bad for your lungs and thyroids...but does wonders for my heart! Doctor took me off preventing lung and thyroid problems but then I had lots of heart problems again...I begged to be back on! Thyroid levels unsteady but not dangerous yet.
    • Close Stroke

      Had a TIA in December of 2005, because of Atrial fibrillation (heart arrhythmia). Fully recovered, but want to help others with their experience.

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      Diet restrictions are kind of annoying... but not as much as another stroke!
