Pacemaker Update
It’s 6 weeks since the LV lead review/revision and it took a lot more out of me than I had anticipated or planned for. I had the pacemaker check yesterday and YEAH! everything is working and no twitches. Everything feels so much comfortable in my arm and shoulder and I haven’t experienced the tightness

Preparing for dialysis, scared and confused
Hi, 49 y.o. female. To give a little background on me, I was working in 2008 when I was found to have protein in my urine. Scared and stupid I didn't go back to the nephrologist. Stopped working in 2010, complicated reasons. From 2010 to 2018 health was declining, I kept putting off going to the doctor
