Does Anyone Have Postural Hypotension?
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know I need to exercise but I can’t go out by myself. There’s always the potential to pass out. What exercises can you do by yourself at home? It’s very frustrating. I feel so much better when I’m out and moving around. There’s only so many times you can clean your house! 🙄

Thanks MaryAnn! I actually bought a chair yoga dvd. So I’ll be starting as soon as I get it. Had chemo yesterday so not feeling up to doing to much 😞

Tafamidis Therapy Prophylactically?
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Recent diagnosis from bilateral CTS. Mayo says ATTR, Cardiologist suspects wild type. Kidney, liver cardiac tests normal. Anyone receiving tafamidis therapy to prevent further progression of disease. In my option, seems tragic that a patient has to progress to some level of cardiac failure before starting treatment if Vindamax or other tafamidis can slow progression.
