Cardiomyopathy Success Story!!

Hi Corrij! I know it's been forever since I've written on the forum, but I just wanted to share some great news after my last cardiology appointment. Just to remind you of my background info, my initial EF when I found out I had cardiomyopathy was between 30 and 35%. I was immediately put on the "us...

Thanks for your quick reply! I take the Omega-3 all at once, with lunch. It's one 1200 mg capsule. Is that ok?

Long time no talk! It's just Kiirsten again, checking in with the latest :wink: So I've been taking only the L-Carnitine and Co-Q10 200 mg this past month, and am now moving to the Q10 100 mg dosage. I'm now going to add in the rest of the supplements you recommended, but just wanted to get your app...

Hi! Just had an update for you...as I have had dizziness/lightheadedness from my meds (Coreg and Lisinopril) for a while now, my doc told me to take my blood pressure for a week or so at home and when I told her my numbers (averaged high 70's over high 40's), she completely took me off the Coreg!! S...

Hi again, Sorry for all the questions...I just want to be totally clear on everything. So once I begin the rest of the supplements in a few weeks, will I still be on the same doses of Q10 and carnitine (2 x 100 Q10 and 3 x 500 carnitine), or will these be cut back at all? How many mg of taurine shou...

Thank you so much, Corrij! I haven't opened my bottle of 200 mg Q10 yet...should I return it and get the 100 mg? (why is the lower dosage better?) I wasn't sure what to buy at the time so I just bought the highest doses of everything. For the carnitine, should I take 1 pill at 3 separate times durin...

Thanks so much for the reply and all the helpful blood pressure info! A quick edit on my last posting, about my EF...my last EF (in March) from the echocardiogram was 42%, and the one before that (6 months prior) was the 65%, my all-time high. So basically my EF decreased 23% during those 6 months w...

I go in tomorrow for my echocardiogram so will update you with the results hopefully sometime next week. Once I see my numbers and talk with my doctor hopefully we can figure out the best way to attack this thing! Thanks so much for all your help, Corrij!!

Hi Corrij, Thank you so much for replying so quickly!! It seems so rare these days so I truly appreciate it! I wasn't sure if you wanted me to write about my condition in the initial e-mail or on the forum, so I'll go ahead and give you my info: My name is Kiirsten, by the way. I am 24 years old and...
