I received this email from another AF Support group. Anyone willing to take this survey can just click on the link.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently at university completing a clinical psychology doctorate and I'm doing a piece of research around personality, illness beliefs and quality of life in people with atrial fibrillation. I've found that this is quite an under-researched area and I feel it is important to learn more about how atrial fibrillation affects people's lives.

I have created a short online survey to explore this and wondered whether anyone would be interested in contributing to the research by completing this survey? If you would like to find out more or take part in the study please click on the link attached.

Thank you all for taking the time to do the survey. I'm sure she will appreciate it. Anything that helps either understanding or spreading the work about AF is worthwhile.

Thanks Again.... You guys are great!

I've started this survey but will look at it again tomorrow. It's a timescale problem for me, e.g. Question: Following dignosis were treatment options explained. After a night in a hospital ward I was put on to Amiodarone and waited 10 months to see a heart consultant - that was 8 years ago. Since then he and my GP, n AF specialist himself, have told me of options, but it's what is intepreted by "following diagnosis".

[Hidden in reply to Thomas45]

I would say it means directly after initial diagnosis and before treatment was given were your options explained to you about the treatment they gave you. I suposoe everyone has had various treatments at various stages and had various options at different times ..did they explain it every time maybe not sometimes yes sometimes no. Is there only a yes no option or any degree like neutral Well explained not explained at all? Try not to over think the wording! Surveys are always wording a way that one wants to write a caveat in the margins when one is a lover of pedantry.
