I know I have not been on here much recently, But because I have heart failure and a pacemaker/defibrillator in my chest, Vitiligo is not the primary focus in my life now ,I have been told by my doctors that my hearts output (ejection fraction is now 15% so all I ask is that you pray for me, I was upset because I missed the Lee Thomas interview here yesterday he's a big inspiration too me and I had many questions too ask him, but because of my heart condition and the many meds that I take daily they sometimes make me very weak and tired, I'm not going to be on here too much but I will check in when I can, I'm at Cardiac Therapy at least 3 times a week now and that takes up a large portion of my schedule but you can always get in contact with me at crltnmnly@aol.com or call me (215) 376-4774 or if you wish I can call you if long distance is a problem for you.
Take care of yourself and God bless you all
Carl

Hi Carl. I'm brand new here but I read your post & I will def say a prayer for you. I went through something similar with my dad so I understand a little what you are going through. May God bless you and see you through this.
Carl, I am sorry to hear about your heart troubles. You know God is in the blessing business and I will definitely keep you in my prayers! God Bless!!!!!
I am new to the site, a very close friend has vitiligo. How odd though because I have a cardiomyopathy, similar to your heart failure. I've had a pacemaker for two years - CRT - cardiac resynchronazation therapy. When originally diagnosed 5 years ago my EF was 10...there is always hope. Cardiac Rehab will seem insurmountable at first but it can make all the difference. My very best to you...Deb
Dear Carl, I would be honored to keep you and your family in my prayers. You have such a wonderful spirit, it really shines through in your pictures. I will put you on the pryaer list at my church. Please keep us updated, my friend.
God Bless, Diana
