Hi!
Thanks for the note;)
I hope your feeling better..It sounds like your going through a really rough time. Hang in there..stay strong!
What have you been diagnosed with? Are you taking any meds for the time being?
Im still taking mine for the time being untill my follow up appt ina few weeks. The ablation went very well and they were able to ablate 2 accessory pathways that were giving me all the lovely troubles. I do still have one "problem" area in one of my valves that we will be discussing at my next appt. But Im hopefull that I will be taken off the meds and that things will stay calm and quiet;)
If you ever need anything..to vent or chat, just drop me a line!!
Take Care~~
