Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hi , Sorry to hear you've not been feeling very well. I know what you mean about how simply doing the daily things can just wear you out. I've been trying to learn to pace myself, but haven't got the knack of it yet.... Alarming about your daughter. Glad you have a doc that pays attention, though! Did you say she (the doc) has an ICD also? Now, I find that encouraging -- it shows that it is possible to live a " normal " life with an ICD. Hope you get to feeling better soon & that the doc can get to the bottom of what is causing your daughter's problems. ~Pam in AK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Pam: Thanks for the support and words of encourragement about my daughter. I consider us very lucky to have gotten this Doc to take us seriously and push for some answers. had a different Doc in the practice since birth but we lost confidence in him when all of this began about 2years ago (he wrote it off as female sensitivity or something like that) and chose to switch to a female instead.....wise girl. As for the Doc and her ICD.......she doesn't have LongQt, Atrial Fib or CHF but something I'd never heard of before. Having the ICD and a heart problem herself has made her so much more of an advocate than any of the other Docs. Yes, she is someone who gives hope! I got some sleep last night but still feel kinda crummy. A little at a time....one day at a time. in CA , 's daughter Hi , Sorry to hear you've not been feeling verywell.
