Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.
How many of DS members belong to multiple AFIB sites/forums and how often do you view/interact with those other forums?
At the time I joined this site I also joined two others. Since that time I eventually found myself spending most of my time here on DS.
This was primarily due to the vibe of the group and the seemingly laid back/sincere attributes the group as a whole exhibited.
Maybe the website colors and font sizes also played a role in this as well as the constant solicitation by risque spammers. Lol.
In any case, due to the slow load time etc., I've experienced of late on DS. I decided to re-visit one of the other two sites that I am a member of to see what was going on these days. I was surprised at some of the very, very informative and intelligent posts as well as actually being able to edit my own comments.
This is something most sites offer these days in the 21st century.
It's quite likely that very few forums (if any) can match the front porch/backyard BBQ style/feeling of DS and it's forum members.
That said, I would sincerely encourage some of you to visit some of these others sites/forums as well on a regular basis.
I know that I will certainly be trying to do so! - Thomas

The second sitting, I looked over other posts. My third,( I have to do 20 min. at a time to keep my back from aching...leave for half hr or more and return) well the third time, I found the test forum, and tested there.
I haven't been back since. This is lots simpler....pokey right now, but simple. I am partial to simplicity!
DS is extremely frustrating lately, because it is so slow. I have no patience for waiting a minute or so for pages to load. Really don't know how much longer I'm willing to put up with it.
IslandLuvr, I hope you were able to navigate Melanie's site. Thomas explained it well and I believe it I will be worth your effort.
