HCM-ers: Introduce yourself or just say hi

Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Oct 25, 2016

Welcome to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) group on Mayo Clinic Connect - a place where you can connect with others, learn about living HCM, share experiences and exchange useful information.

I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the follow icon on the group landing page.

I'm Colleen, and I'm the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. I look forwarding to welcoming you and introducing you to other members.

Why not start by introducing yourself here?

I'm Barb, 77, previously healthy, lifelong scuba diver, sailor (international 50'+ sailboats), swimming, cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, etc. Never smoked, don't drink, no diabetes, no high bp, no CAD, but sleep apnea with CPAP (which I've been very bad at wearing regularly). Suddenly after an "event" I was diagnosed with HCM! Wait . . . what???? So now what? Glad to find this group because currently feeling helpless and hopeless and want my old life back (especially scuba)!
