Hello, My name is Patty. 2-1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy and MVP with regurgitation...talking about being tired all of the time. I am taking digoxin and capoten but so far have not improved much. I am on restricted list of things that I'm allowed to do. I had to quit my previous job recently because of the quick deterioration. Now I'm jobless...was told that I can get a sit down job..have the skills and such but I have to eliminate stress. I am 33 years old and feel like I'm a lot older. Some days I don't feel to bad and I use to have to take naps two or three times a day just to make it. But since I've been on the capoten..since Jan 2002 I can go a whole day with a nap..most of the time. This gets really fun when you are trying to raise three kids.

Thanks for listening! Any questions or comments I'd be glad to hear them.
