Unfortunately they are nowhere near Norfolk and no plans to come this way so far, but I did get a lot of very useful info from CRY. I think what my cousin and other relatives have is listed in there so I will be taking it along to my gp. and showing her, as some of my symptoms match up, both relatives have had pacemakers etc and another has had heart surgery a while back.

Thanks Gillian, it worries me that my son is double cursed as his own father had heart surgery last Christmas and he is only in his late 50s so heart problems in both sides of son's family as in mine.

nudging this to make you all aware, you can now get screened for SADS please check if they are in your area by following the link given on the opening thread. We can lower the statistics by taking advantage of these tests.

As Gillian says, every little helps and could save lives.

Have put a link to it on my facebook page. The more people who know about the screening the better.
