@jeannepasquinucci Hi and welcome, I'm didn't have this disease prior to Heart Transplant and I myself looked it up to see for myself. I can relate to the wanting to share with others as we all here on Connect have become a virtual support community. I am familiar with the symptoms I found for this condition and in some ways had a similar condition of a thickening of the Heart with episodes of Fatigue and shortness of breath. I see that one procedure your Husband may have or already has had is something I had a few of during my transplant journey which is a Heart Biopsy. So as you learn more im available for possible help with some aspects he may go thru.
Have a Blessed Day
Dana

Thank you Dana for answering my post. My husband is seeing the cardiologist tomorrow. They will be discussing the heart biopsy. He has a wireless pacemaker and because of that when they did the MRI they didn’t possibly get a true reading. He is on a medication called Vyndamax. It’s fairly new on the market. Pfizer has no side effects listed as it’s so new. My husband complains of terrible leg pains. He thinks maybe arthritis has developed. He never had these leg pains before taking the medication. Have you ever heard of this medication?
