Close Congenital Heart Disease
Type: CardiomyopathyI'm a 41 year old female. At 40 and receiving treatment for something else at the National Institutes of Health, I was diagnosed with HCM - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. At the time, I was told to 'take it easy' for the remainder of my life and also informed that I needed to take medication to control the disease. One year later, I'm functioning but it's often difficult because I become fatigued so quickly.
Treatments
- Atenolol Working / Worked
- I guess taking the medication 75mg per day works in controlling the blood pressure and heart rate BUT it makes me tired.
Close Alcoholism
I'm a 41 year old woman who drank alcoholically for about 25 years of my life - started when I was 15 and went into rehab for the 2nd time in Jan -09 after a suicide attempt. So, now its April 10th and I am celebrating 15 months of sobriety. Every day is different; some days I don't think much about it and others, it's really really hard to deal. Thank god I have AAs and friends!
Treatments
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- Love my meetings! I try to hit my favorite ones as often as I can.
- Detox Working / Worked
- was in rehab at the NIH for 45 days
- Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
- continued for 12 weeks in after-care at the NIH and still keep in touch with a couple of the nurses
- Willpower Working / Worked
- gotta love willpower
