[Viva] Women's Healthy Aging Study

[Danielle Lucia]

Despite my best attempts to do "the right things" to maintain wellness, my
quality of life suffers. I have overcome TB, live with chronic kidney
disease alongside HIV, and had surgeries to remove cancer.  Most recently I
learned that I've had a heart attack,  though I recall no pain or symptoms
but have heightened daily anxiety, jitteriness, headaches and mental fog
that I'm told could be manifestations of the event.

For those reasons, if this wasn't away in Victoria where I would have
trouble getting to from Fanny Bay and staying for the duration I would
register.  I would very much like to at least be privy to the end result of
the study.

All the best.
Danielle
