Margie,

I am an adult now....but was 12 when diagnosed with HCM. I remember the way I felt about it - in short I was not very happy and did not like the doctors telling me how to live my life. Looking back at it now...20++ years later - I did not miss out on much - my life as a teenager was as "normal" as any other teens - just a little different. I do feel that I had to grow up a little faster than my friends - and that I understood at an early age that LIFE is not something to be taken for granted.

Feel free to share your thoughts - good - bad or otherwise - WE understand!!

Take care!
Lisa
