2 months post ablation and frequent extrasystoles.
So I'm 2 months from my 1st ablation and supposed to now stop taking Flecainide but I seem to be permanently having extrasystoles, having hardly had them at all previously. They are fairly asymptomatic with me only sometimes feeling palpitations. I've also had a couple of Afib episodes but it's the sudden

feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost
In September 2023 I found out by chance that I had apparently been diagnosed with lupus 15-20 years ago. I haven’t been told at any point in this time by a doctor - I found out almost by accident from my GP physio. Since then my current GP has been initially verbally supportive although said they knew

a newby to Lupus
Hello folks, I was only diagnosed with lupus a few days ago, after six months of being told I have stage4 CKD, currently at 21% .Eight years ago I was diagnosed with severe anaemia by my GP, which with retrospect I think was a symptom of Lupus and the cause wasn’t looked into. I don’t have the energy

Blood thinner options...
Diagnosed earlier this year. Working my way through due to uncomfortable physical side effects.... (Done edoxaban, rivaroxaban) on 5mg 2 x daily now. Does it follow that Apixaban if twice daily , is a lower dose therefore, more gentle on your stomach and your system? Wondering if there is ever truly

Some new science on why women are more prone to autoimmune disease
This is an interesting read that suggests the preponderance of systemic autoimmune conditions in women is linked to incomplete X chromosome inactivation. Sadly, it doesnt have any immediate practical implications for us lot, but may be a pointer for the future. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586
