Hi my name is Dawn and I am sorry to all those at HUK that it as taken me so long to join up, at last a quiet Tuesday at work has allowed me to join.

I am a sort of postive outcome, of living with FH, severe heart disease and heart failure. Through many medical interventions and a great support network I have gone from being bedridden to working.

I am currently awaiting tests because my heart failure and angina have become worse again.

I remain positive and at work and am managing to control most of symptoms by adjusting diuretics and betablockers.

Hello Dawnydreakbreak,

Welcome. Sorry to hear you have had such a rough time. It seems to be a bit of a lottery how some people are severely affected and how others seem to get off lightly. Stay positive. X
