    Need encouragement

    I am feeling discouraged by my health. due to my tiredness and pain, I can no longer do much of the things I used to like to do. I used to be a very athletic person, but now I just feel useless--to myself and to my family. I am desperate so I came here and just wanted to put it out there. Can anyon

    Thank you

    Thank you, Legacy Heart care, for having this website. This is my first time to visit, and I think I will be coming back often. The person who told me about this website said that I didn't have to run the race alone, and that meant a lot of me. A lot of times, having heart problems, that is EXACTLY

    vitamin D

    Hi Doc, I am worried that I may be vitamin D deficient (I tend to feel down in the colder months when I don't get a lot of sun). How can I make sure, and should I just take a supplement? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    Blood Pressure

    Hello, I was introduced to this site through Puppydoc's (Phoebe) blog--I hope it's okay that I post a question here. I am wondering if there are any natural ways to lower my blood pressure? I am not currently on medications but my primary doctor told me that if it continues to be high (it has been

    I just had this desire to post this to say that reading everyone's words have helped me immensely. Even though I do not know you, just reading your posts have given me the distinct feeling that I am NOT alone. And this thought has carried me through some hard times recently.

    EECP

    My husband suffers from heart angina and we heard about EECP from a friend who went through it in Austin. He really had a great overall experience with the treatment and the staff there (very caring). Therefore I would recommend it (on his behalf), because from what I can tell, it is a safe procedur

    Question about heart failure

    Do you have any resources or general tips for people who have heart failure? There is a lot of information out there, and it's hard to know what advice is good and what is bad. Thank you kindly for your time.

    Silver lining

    I read a few people's posts today, and my heart just goes out to everyone. We all go through hardships, and it's people like you who provide support for each other that makes a world of difference. When I was at Legacy I felt the same way. Now that I'm finished with treatment I realized that I can s

    Diabetes

    Hi, I have diabetes type 2, and I have trouble keeping my blood sugar normal. I have gone to the hospital 4 times this year for high sugar and am on a lot of medications. It is hard for me, and I hope to find some advice on controlling my diabetes. Thank you- Steve

    Depression

    Hi, my name is Karen. I found this forum from Puppydoc's lovely blog. I'm writing because I have very bad depression, but that is not my main reason for coming here. I am a fulltime caregiver for my husband, who 2 years ago had a bad stroke and now cannot walk and has a hard time with his speech. I

    How long before improvement?

    I have been taking my friend to treatments for a month. It seems like he is worse. The last few trips he went home and slept all days and night. He goes 3 times and week and is barely recovered before he goes again. Is this normal?

    My thoughts are with you all

    I only wanted to send out some warm thoughts to all those who might come upon this website. I pray that everyone who has gone through this treatment and is living with heart disease continues to remain strong in body and mind and to reach out if you are feeling discouraged. There IS a silver lining.

    More than just a treatment

    My experience at Legacy Heart Care has been one of caring and support. The treatment itself works wonders, but it is the people who work there and the people you get to know while having treatment that makes the biggest difference. I cannot thank this clinic enough, as well as those who visit this w

    A miracle

    For me, EECP was no less than a miracle treatment. I have been on so many medications for so many years, but I was still struggling with my health. My doctor recommended me for this treatment. Before I started I had never even heard of it, but I was open minded because my doctor said there was a goo
