Hi Kim. I’ve got wATTR. My Amyloidosis Team tells me that fluid in my lungs indicates another manifestation of amyloid attack.
Also it indicates a progression of peripheral edema and cardiac myopathy. Bad news is these might be an indication of amyloid attack on brain. I’ve been experiencing issues where brain and mouth appear uncoordinated.
The fun never stops…
