I like your new avi picture. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Wishing you well, and wishing you enough... Jan

Hi!! How are you doing? Better I hope. You had a "fun" weekend I see! Thankfully, those days are over for me since my ablation. I never took it easy either, and I would "pay" the price also. Have a good, slower paced week. Take care! Wishing you well, and wishing you enough... Jan

Hug
Thanks for the hug and the friend invite. How are you feeling? Are you still in a-fib? Do your episodes last long? I hope and pray that you will be feeling better soon. Take care, and I'll talk to you soon. Wishing you well, and wishing you enough... Jan

Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
Had AF since Nov. 2002, and it was not too bad for yrs. Got really bad 3 yrs ago, had heart valve replacement (unrelated to the AF, I was told), and it was quiet for a while. Back with a vengeance now, meds not working. So I am looking into more info -- doc wants me to consider ablation and I am scared sh**less about it!
Treatments
- Amiodarone Working / Worked
- worked well, before heart valve replaced. Docs won't let me use it again, saying it is too toxic
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- Keep my INR between 2 and 3
- Digoxin Working / Worked
- Used it yrs ago when AF first diagnosed. Seemed fine for yrs, but when AF came hard, docs switched me to Bisoprolol, a beta blocker. Now on Sotalol, and not working either.
