Rythmol/Propafenone
Has anyone been prescribed this antiarrhythmic? Due to the flecainide not working for me, my doctor wants me to go on this drug. I’m really hesitant to try another drug because of the Flecainide not working. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this medication and if so, did it work?

cryo-ablation update
hi everyone, Thought I would give an update. I had the cryo-ablation on the 13th of May. i felt fairly uncomfortable over the first few weeks, but thanks to all the support and info on here, I have got through it without panic. the main thing is pacing myself and not overdoing it. Get enough

Hay fever medicines
I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

Dry eye syndrome - and castor oil!
Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

Has the Pulsed Field Ablation technique increased success rate?
Although Flecainide 50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital? I hear reports that it’s much

Carbomer eye gel
Good morning. I was at the ophthalmologist yesterday getting umpteen scans and things due to taking hydroxychloroquine. I have very dry eyes once the UV starts to increase (usually February so bang on time). The ophthalmologist gave me carbomer eye gel to use before I go to bed and told me to continue

wheat in cosmetics
I’m recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. I’m following a gluten free diet but have noticed that a product I bought to promote hair growth contains wheat germ amongst many other ingredients. As this product needs to be massaged into the scalp should I not use it?

hi everyone! I am writing because I wanted to see if anybody had similar experiences. I am four months post total thyroidectomy, and in the first month or so I didn’t really feel many or any symptoms. Now in the past two months, I feel like I am feeling more symptoms of hypothyroidism than I did, in

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

Sun protection. Mineral sun lotion on a budget
Staying protected from UV rays is high on many peoples list this week, with layering and staying in the shade so important. I’ve read that mineral based sun lotion is better than chemical as it creates a barrier on your skin that reflects UV light so t hey don't absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreens

Dry mouth and throat
I have a constantly dry throat and meds, probably from meds. Other than carrying water around with me whenever I go out, or a constant supply of cough sweets, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Do you have the symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome? Is your doctor helping you manage it?
This set of links popped up today and I thought it was worth posting about. Many of us DO have dry eyes and it is clear from these articles that it isn't taken seriously enough by either doctors or patients. Treatment is crucial to prevent longterm damage to the cornea and improve quality of life - and

Propafenone Back!!!
JimF here in the U.S. A while back I posted regarding the critical shortages of Propafenone, which then bled over to shortages of Flecainide and Tikosyn.......which may continue until February. I'm happy to say that my 90 day supply of propafenone has just been refilled by my pharmacy, a truly "thank

No more propafenone!!!! What???
I'm in the U.S., diagnosed PAF ~3 years ago. Have achieved excellent control with propafenone (Rythmol). My pharmacy informed me they cannot refill my prescription, as there is a supply side problem with propafenone. From what I have read, there is a dangerous shortage of propafenone in the U.S and

Link between dry eyes and throat and PMRGCA? Any ideas?
Context: • About 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I developed dry eyes and
dry
throat. This was eventually diagnosed as ‘
dry
eye
/
dry
throat
syndrome
’. I had my tear ducts plugged to minimise loss of eye moisture and that did seem to help along with eye drops etc.

Ablate or wait?
About 1 year ago I suffered with recurrent AF episodes usually overnight and they lasted from 1 hour to 5 hours. On two occasions I went to A&E and was kept in A&E overnight. I got a consultant appointment and he prescribed Flecainide 100mg twice per day and a spot on the NHS ablation waiting list.
