Its me again ....

Hi everyone.....well the latest news over here in Australia is the powers that be with research....and been on our news .....have revised blood pressure readings to being high if your above 120/80 so hundreds of people are about to be put on BP meds....

and I gather hundreds will be fainting if they are super sensitive to the meds they are prescribed.....my hubby went through faints after being prescribed BP medication because of his sensitivity....but in saying that he needed the meds just the right one for him...Renitec and been on it now for years.... anyway enough of that news....

I am now on Flecanide again (not scarred anymore) and this time 50 mg bd and its working to a point (and I don't feel extreme tiredness with it this time either)...for the SVT horrible runs I get that make me feel really crook these days....I am sure its my heart trying to go back into AF and just can't quite make the connection ....thank heavens for the ablation....it has worked....but the EP is reluctant to go back in to tidy up as he puts it....saw him the other day says he doesn't want to upset the gastroparesis problem again as he was really worried last time and thinks it will be too much for me ....so I gave in and took the Flecanide he prescribed the other night as a pill in the pocket when my heart went ape while watching TV cause it was a bad bout and this went on in the morning again so another pill popped and that led me to take it again in the evening as the heart bopped a bit more so I decided heck just take it twice a day as he suggested I might need too and have done with it....I know I need to tell him but I see the GP next Friday so she will anyway.....and I am on a lower dose of mirtazapine for my anxiety now to counteract the tiredness so far so good....as well as having some hay fever meds to help with feeling like I have a cold all the time....life is so good these days but I do wish I could have a straight run for a little while new kid of normal as we say....

I see a couple of new specialists in a couple of weeks as I now have chronic neutropenia and the GP is worried about that...and a visit to a ENT straight after for the horse voice I keep getting hope this will all clear up soon too....

Anyway my friends and helpers on here I read lots of the posts and feel for everyone....I don't say much because I feel sometimes its not my place to comment but I do wish everyone good health and stay safe and happy as you can xx Jo

Hi Jo, it is good to have an update, thank you. Sometimes people post a lot when they are in distress but then you never hear another word! Maybe they update through private messages but I am sure many of us would like to know how the 'story' ended or continued.

I am sorry things have not completely improved for you, but thanks for your good wishes and I wish the same for you 🙋

You mention mirtazapin and that caught my attention. I once was ordered mirtazapin and i was totally tired after a small dose, half unconcious. It lasted 3days. Tried later 1/4 tabl for sleeping problem and nearly the same happened. They say the tiredness gets better with time but I didn't want that blackout anymore. For some people it is the best medicine. So we really are very different.
