Tina:
Let me second Leigh Ann's welcome! I am sorry for the issues that bring you to us, but we are definitely glad to have you join the crew. You are absolutely right about
this being a very supportive forum. I have found much encouragement and helpful information here when I've needed it.
It sounds like you run a very busy household! I can only imagine that a houseful of little men keeps you hopping! I have occasional racing heart rates, and it is really painful! I can't imagine what it would be like to know that any activity at all would bring that on! Do your heart medications help keep that under control? I am glad to hear you are getting the pump trial, too. Be sure you do some careful research about
the specific pump you would be getting. I have read that some of them are experiencing recalls due to malfunctions that inhibit delivery of medication. You can search on this board - I think there are several threads about
it.
Aside from the threads related to our health issues, we also have a few goofy threads that have been designed by some of the members to help us get our minds off our pain for a little while. You could read on the Beach Party or Dessert Thread if you want to see a little of our sense of humor!
Again, welcome! I look forward to getting to know you better.
Ry
