I'm sad that I missed the avatar craziness due to being gone a few days.
I missed it too. I was getting work done on the Bloodfist, which at this moment has progressed 2 seasons so far. I'm setting up some time to try and double-update today.
Unfortunately, this may mean I'll miss out on other future craziness. Consider it me both catching up on my project, as well as racing the next release of DF.
... Heart issues. My weak heart is finally catching up with me. And after nearly suffering a heart attack I went to the doctor to get myself looked at.
It's weakened a little further, though apparently only temporarily, now I'm on medication and have been explicitly told to keep from any straining activity for at least two weeks. So yeah... I'm still kinda scared, but it's apparently not going to kill me if I watch it.
I've actually had some heart issues myself (heart murmurs caused by stress at work). I might actually have something that'll help you out. Mind the product placement of this, and I'm usually cynical about stuff like this as well, but thanks to being provided a sample (kinda advised by my mother as well), I can actually trust it since it actually works. All natural, and it means it this time.

The name of the products I've been using for the past couple months is called 'Tahitian Noni Juice' (made of Acai Fruit), and a nutrition supplement called 'Nature Born Whole Food Supplement' (Full-day's worth of nutrition within 4 capsules (2 capsules per meal twice a day works)).
The Noni Juice is like a liquid form of the supplement, and works excellently when combined with the supplement.
Because the products are actually all-natural (and you can tell by taste it's true), they will not interfere with any medication you may be taking, they're absorbed into the system rapidly, and every bit of it is used. Furthermore, a dosage limit is more considered an advised amount. Example: I take 6 after each meal, instead of 2. Of course, I advise you warm up with 2-per-meal before upping the dosage. Let your body adjust to it.
The only time it may not work is if you're allergic to any of the ingredients. But that should be beyond rare.
Anyway, within a month (which regular dosage usually lasts for, and for a decent price of $20-$40 per shipping, depending on what, and how much, you order. Consider it $.66 - $1.33 a day; if you have a decent income, you'll barely notice), you'll immediately feel a positive effect on your system.

I love this stuff, and I advise you order at least a unit of them and try it for a month. It works, and you have my word on it. I don't advise things I know don't work.
Consider this, you don't need to change anything to make this stuff work. I mean, I still have the same eating and behavioral habits, and this stuff still does it's job.
Some advice on making the most of the products. Start your day off with coffee for a quick charge with good taste, but mostly a morning filtering of the system, have a good breakfast, take a dose of both products, later (lunch or dinner) take another dose. Lather, rinse, repeat for the span of the moth, and you should be cured of any ailments within the span of a month, maybe less.
I'll PM you a business card with contact information on getting the stuff. Trust me, you won't regret it. I've been using it for at least 4 months, and I love it. Easy to follow, not much effort needed to make use of it, potent enough to get the job done, and it actually works without a hitch (aside keeping subscribed/affording it monthly, but at the price for it, it's easy enough to keep up).
Sad: I had to type this at least 3 times, thanks Firefox. New version's crapping up in less than 12 hours. And it seems my typing is getting auto-formatted every time I send.
