Into the 2nd phase?
Hello Had PAF for over 11 years...11 days ago I flipped into AF and haven't really been out of it much. Was taking PIP bisoprolol which slowed it down to an ok level...it used to fix it so I'd return to NSR. Not this time. A few calls to the Arrythmia nurses and they call me into their clinic. Sent

Update on my first EP visit & recomendation
Hi guys. Just wanted to give you an update on my first visit to EP. In short, after she carefully looked at my complete documentation (afib diagnose 2 months ago) she advised me to proceed with ablation. Her main arguments are following -I'm relatively young (40) and ablation has the best outcome in

Triple Bypass
Long story short, which I guess is similar to others. I’m being scheduled for a CABG. Triple bypass by the looks of things. Initially, a bit scared. Worried about my future. The standard gamut of emotions which are swirling around my mind. I guess I have a couple of questions. What’s the surgery

PSA SCREEN VS SYMPTOMATIC
My current PSA test is called PROSTATE SPC AG, SCREEN. My previous PSA test from the same lab was called PROSTATE SPC AG, SYMPTOMATIC. Both labs were off the same order from my MO. Whats the difference?

previous question
Someone recently asked me about taking Urso after my transplant and the return of the disease for me. I can't find the post but I wanted to answer. I have taken Urso since I was 35 years old. I am now 73. I have had no real problems with it all these years luckily. About 25% of those who have a liver

Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?
I've been hypothyroid for decades, in recent years self-dosing T3 (split dose - 50 mcg AM, 50 mcg afternoon, 12.5 mcg evening). Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a Levodopa/Carbidopa

Sticky blood! A thing or not?
Many years ago my blood tests often had to be repeated at the pathology lab because the first and second samples had set solid in transit before testing. I was told it was because I had sticky blood. Last week I saw a cardiologist who initially wanted me to take blood thinners, but as I only scored 1

B1 Question ( nothing comes easy )
question at the bottom I have been reading everything I could get my hands on that was about vitamin B1 over the last couple years and I tried one B1 100 mg per day for one week about a year ago. It did not help and actually it seemed to make shaking worse. Finally I purchased Daphne Bryan's

Interesting Article (please read)

7 Week Review after CABG
7 weeks since I had the CABG x 4... went in for a review with my consultant. Soooo glad I had read up on here, and had the Cardio Rehab assessment beforehand, and had made notes of the questions a needed answers too. It was brutally efficient - [i]yep your op was a success, you can do anything, and

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Cardioversion
Have been on medication for AF for 30 yrs, with occasional paroxysmes. First on Amiodarone which kept me on NSR . As it was too toxic, my cardiologist insisted change on propanolol 2 yrs ago.But AF became permanent . Now my EP insists on cardioversion if not ablation before putting me on flecoidine

Robotic surgery?
My mitral valve is deteriorating and surgery is in my future. I’m 72, in good health besides aFib and my valve. I’m interested in robotic surgery and if I would qualify. Curious what other folks experience is.
