Important reminder .....
Today is the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women's Heart health day, and it is even more poignant that I issue my annual plea to all of you to stop and learn more.
Most of you know that we lost a dear community leader, Mary (twopack), last year to sudden cardiac arrest. Her death was a blow to everyone and I can only hope that some lessons are learned from her.
I am also a heart attack survivor ... I am one of the lucky women and got treatment quickly.
Heart disease kills more women than all of the cancers combined, but it doesn't get near the attention it deserves and many of us still don't know the risks and warning signs. Please take some time to learn more - or reacquaint yourself with the signs. of heart problems.
There is great information at online and I encourage to spend some time reading about the Go Red movement. Do it for yourself, do it for me, and most of all do it as part of Mary's legacy.
wishing you well, Laura

Thank you for posting this, Laura, and thanks, also for keeping Mary's memory alive.
It's so important to learn your family history, and if you have a positive family history, it wouldn't hurt to get a baseline EKG, and maybe even a stress echo. These are easy, fairly inexpensive exams that can shed light on early abnormalities.
If what you feel is like your "MS Hug" is also radiating toward your jaw, back, or arm, and you're at all nauseous, or diphoretic (sweaty), go directly to you nearest ER and get it checked out. It may be nothing, it may be really something!!
Go Red!
