Hi,
Am sorry to hear about your sufferings.
Truely speaking, Just Heart transplant is the last reservoir for its treatment, but it is very expensive and hardly we can get a donour, making this approach non practical.
I would advice you to continue your medications, which must include lasix. Under medication my patients have lived longer than 30-40 years with this disease. So you must be hopeful.
Regards
