    • About Me

      I am currently a stay at home mom which feels more like a nurse, cook, maid and servant, which I would not change for the world. My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we have one awesome little boy who is 5.

      Praying for you, sweetie. For God's wisdom and his touch to reach your doctors hands and minds, for His will to be on your surgery, recovery, and healing. For strength for you and your family to get through this. Love you, sister. You will be alright.

    • Prayer

      From godschosenone October 18, 2008

      Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 peter 12-13 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. MATTHEW 11-28-30

    • Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

      I am 27 I was diagnosed with Afib when I was 21 and 4 months pregnant with my son. I have tried everything under the sun to get fixed and no luck so far, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for my Mini Maze surgery on Monday Oct. 20th

      Treatments

      Amiodarone Not Working
      I still go into a-fib and then about a day later I will go out of afib. But when I am not in a-fib my heart still skips beats, enough to take your breath and cause life to be hard to live.
      Coumadin Working / Worked
      It is doing it's job as far as thinning out my blood and helping to prevent me from throwing clots, however I still had a clot form in my heart.
      Diltiazem Not Working
      this did not work matter of fact it made my heart aggravated
      Lovenox Somewhat Helpful
      It kinda helped thin my blood, but the side effects HURT! My entire bottom half of my stomach was black and purple from bruises and I had grapefruit size knots come up where the injection sites were.
      Metoprolol Not Working
      I have no clue why I take this pill!
      Rythmol Not Working
      this aggravated my heart as well and made me quite tired and short of breath
    • Close Arrhythmias

      I am 27 and have bouts of A-fib, I recently as in 3 weeks ago had the mini maze procedure, which is working for the most part. I had a lot of complications during the surgery. I have been many many drugs for my arrythmias and I am still onmany drugs for it as well. Hopefully I will soon be able to come off of some of them if not all of them. Sometimes I have brady and some times tachycardia I have had a horrible 6 years dealing with this.

      Treatments

      Amiodarone Working / Worked
      ehh it is hanging in there I am on it along with other drugs
      Diltiazem Not Working
      this does not work at all
      Radiofrequency Ablation Working / Worked
      had an ablation with the mini maze procedure and so far it's doing what it is suppose to do
      Rythmol Not Working
      this aggravated my heart very badly and sent me into a tail spin of bouts with a-fib
      Digoxin Working / Worked
      along with the amiodarone and beta blockers it is helping keep everything regulated.
    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 22 years ago when I was 6. I hate this problem, weight weight weight it becomes an obsession that you can do nothing about.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      this is the only drug that I have been on tossed around from different dosages for years
