I am mid-age guy. Auto ran me down badly. It caused a massive heart attack in all segments of my heart. Now I have severe congestive heart failure. I tried Rx diuretics, the strongest, no success yet. CArdiologist says no remedies to revitalize dead heart muscle. I don't want a heart transplant. I refuse to go back to hospital. My ejection fraction is +50%.
If my heart muscle so damaged forever, then people like me, can they ever overcome the fluid retention?? My right leg oozes from a spot on skin, streams of clear water from inside my body, DRENCHING my clothes 24/7. I have little water to urinate, since it's spilling out my leg day & night. I gasp with angina if climb stairs or exertion. Does anyone know cases like me who improved & live semi-normally after the huge attack? Doctors have no magic wand to cure me - no specific remedies. I'm losing all hope for my life. Cardiologists have no special cures for me, they say this is my fate.

I have heard of surgeries performed where damaged heart muscle was removed and the healthy tissues joined, making the heart smaller and a more effective pump, not sure if this would be of help to you but you might look into it.
As for your fluid balance problems, that is a very difficult balance to achieve, suggest a nutritionist might give you some good suggestions. I limit my fluid intake to 1 liter a day to prevent fluid overload. I exercise to tolerance, and I wear compression stockings to keep the edema to a minimum. Good luck to you.
