My heart has improved some but for me I'm also stage 4 kidney disease almost at end stage renal failure which is like a double edge sword. Even though it's improved since I quit meth a little over 3 years ago it hasn't improved enough to allow me to get a kidney transplant so dialysis is what I have to look forward too

I did meth on and off for years and also have CHF. Cardiologist said meth in general would have eventually done it to me but the fact that I was a i.v. user made it happen faster.

I had a heart attack back in 2018 which then I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and the hospital and the doctor or so mean the doctor came up and told me you have congestive heart failure due to your drug use.

I was a meth user for many years! I have congestive heart failure also! But now I am on the heart transplant list. It is a scary place to be.
