Great to hear from you Vi. You have been on my mind and in my prayers the last few days. I was wondering how you were doing. I relate to the hot bath weakness and the exercise palpitations. I've done some family digging and found out that my fathers two brothers died from a "hole in the heart". One a few days after birth. The other at age 8 or 9 after being unable to even walk his whole short life. I am more convinced than ever that this is my problem too and I know my daughter has PFOS. It was diagnosed at 8 weeks. She also has debilitating migraine. My big problem will be convincing my Doctor of this but I will mention it to Clair's Pediatrician. He may be willing to consider it for her. I'm printing out all the links for him to read.

It's been kind of quiet here lately, How is everybody? I have been slowly improving since my closure in July. My palpatations are gone now, and I have found that I have more stamina and energy than I used to. All of my life, when I would exercise, I would get tired and nauseated and have heart palps after just a few minutes of a cardio workout like running, swimming or other aerobic activities. I would also get weak and nauseated from hot baths. It seems that I have a new sense of stamina or vigor that I have never had, and in some ways I kind of feel like a 22 year old again. I am 38. It's really neat, and I am really surprised now when I start swimming or running on the treadmill that I don't feel weak, nauseated, dizzy and have heart palps like I used to when I would get my heart rate up. I can take really hot baths too, without feeling weak and woozy. All my life I just thought that was how everybody was. What a surprise this is, you know? So that is one really positive thing that I have experienced since the closure, as well as the steady decrease in my migraines and migraine auras. I just wanted to pipe in and let you all know how it's going. Love, Vi | |||
