This forum is invaluable to those that need help, advice, reassurance and to read how others are making out. Many of you who have been on here for some time are doing a great job of being caring, "mothering" and sharing info. God bless you all.
As with everything there are those that contribute, those that check in regularly and those that are just staying in touch without uttering a sylable .
Still learning from you kind regulars that make it their "duty" to help others.
What a lovely, thoughtful, post to write Sam. I'm sure everyone who contributes to this forum will feel very much appreciated by your kind words.
On behalf of every single AF forum member who has given helpful advice and support I thank you.
It's so nice to be able to talk to people who really understand just what our heart condition and the emotions it causes are like. I agree it's a fantastic site and I too bless the day I found it.
Just signed up to this forum, literally minutes ago and this was the first post I saw. I am actually really worried and in head spin mode to be honest. Three weeks ago saw my Consultant for the second time after wearing a two week heart monitor thingy. Boom booked for a PVI Cryo ablation and a CTI ablation with a view to also targeting any additional foci or atrial ectopy. Rabbit in head lights moment. I made the mistake of googling and I have convinced myself of a whole load of things, and as good as my Consultant is I just do not remember the detail. Also my first general anaesthetic which is not helping my anxiety levels.
So to hear that there are brilliant people on here is just what I needed.
I am new to this AF diagnosis also, and so glad I found this site last weekend! It has been really helpful, and the people have been very caring and sincere. It is very frightening and overwhelming, so knowing that there are others out here that can understand what we are going thru truly helps, especially during these VERY trying times!
Thank you for your kind comments. I learned a lot on here, things that my cardiologist(s) never even mentioned. You learn about opyions, drugs and the questions you could be asking your doctors. I see you are booked for ablations. My doctors haven't even mentioned them . They have me on Bisoprolol and Eliquis blood thinner. It seems to depend a lot where you live, Canada, USA, Britain, or say Australia. Then the covid has thrown a big monkey wrench into everything.
Post your questions and ask for advice. Don't forget the Search box has a lot of documented info and past questions.
I absolutely agree with you Sam. If it hadn't been for all the kind folk who take the trouble to post here replying to people who are in need of support, I would still be a shivering wreck under the table.
It's no joke finding out that you have a condition which you have to learn to cope with, but it always helps to share. So thanks to everyone on here.
