I have been so busy getting on with life in NSR that I have not had time to let you all know how I am a year after cryoablation (July 7th last to be precise). I have had a wonderful, normal, year no AF at all. It is difficult to remember just how bad it was in the dark days when the PAF was getting worse and worse. I am 70 years old now and walk several miles a day and eat sensibly, so am not overweight. I now drink alcohol sparingly and enjoy the occasional cup of coffee. I am off all heart related drugs except for Apixaban, which means that I am free of the tiredness and other symptoms induced by Flecainide and Bisoprolol. A big thank you to Prof. Schilling and his team.

Also, thanks to all on this forum, I don't think that I would have considered ablation without reading all of your experiences.

Regards to all,

Peter

Peter, that's so good to hear (gives us all hope of being normal again). Finding this forum was certainly the best thing I ever did. Long may your good health continue.

Great news. Every day that passes in NSR is a bonus for anyone with AF. Long may it continue.
