Disappointing for you Big Bear.

I try and look at afib like this - a plane taking off. The effort is at the start when it leaves the runway and and goes up. Once it's up there then little effort is needed and it's cruising.

A silly analogy I know. However just look as it as taking off - a CV is take off and I'm sure your ablation will happen in the near future.

Just one more thing. I've had 3 CV's and all worked. However the one that's lasting is from when I started taking flec. I suggest talking to your cardio to see if it might work for you. It's certainly worth enquiring about even if they say no.

Hi BB.

Sorry - my bad. I tend to abbreviate and think everyone knows what I'm referring to.

Flec is 'flecainide'. It works it's magic for many (certainly for me). Worth a Google and mention to your cardio. For me a CV is like strawberries with no cream without it. It can certainly make a big difference.

Best,

Paul
