Impulse Control Disorder on Dopamine Agonists. TV Drama Mr Bates v The Post Office
We have had members on here who have lost homes, marriages, careers and money because of
ICD
. One GP simply told one patient to join Gamblers Anonymous. Enough! It's time to fight back against the ignorance and negligence.

Mrs Mac.
He has arrhythmic type cardiomyopathy, an
icd
implant and he has been in heart failure for 7 years now. He changed his diuretic (furosemide)a few months ago due to side effect of gout attacks. The current one (bumetanide) is causing agonising muscle cramps.

ICD beeping at 5am
My husband had his
ICD
fitted 2 weeks ago, I heard it beeping yesterday morning at roughly 5am, it only beeped for a short while, does anyone know what this means? I know my husbands arrhythmia is worse when he's sleeping, it hasn't beeped since x

ICD and driving - how long to be able to drive again?
Investigations as to type and cause still happening.Whatever I am being advised I will have an
ICD
fitted. What are your real world experiences on how long it takes to be allowed to drive from having the implant? I have looked back for info but the threads don't seem simple or specific.

ICD/Pacemaker Job Done
Hi all. Got the implant op on Wednesday and home yesterday. Everything went like clockwork (excuse the pun). I cant praise the staff at Edingurgh Royal Infirmary enough. They were wonderful. It was a very strange experience being awake while this was going on. I could feel all the pulling pushing happening

ICD fitting tomorrow!
I know the choice of pacemaker or
ICD
is very much my choice, but I also know it has implications on my HGV. Advice much appreciated about going forwards.

ICD therapy and reapplying for driving licence
I had an
ICD
fitted last August and voluntarily surrendered my licence. It was tough, but I did it over the phone and the DVLA person was really helpful and empathetic. I then received device therapy in October, which reset the 6 month clock.

Back to work after icd fitted
Hi. My husband suffers from AF and 7 years ago, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Has an ef of 25%. He is a groundworker/machine driver by trade. His Dr has said he will be unable to return to his work as he would need a fit to work medical, which he would fail. It seems most driving jobs, plant machinery

Subcutaneous icd
Hi folks,I now have a date in October for a subcutaneous
icd
. The one with the lead not going in to the heart. As it is being implanted a year after my heart attack I presume I will be barred from driving for a month, not six months post op? Anyone had any problems after this procedure?

recovering after ICD shock - advice about the future
I recently received a shock from my
ICD
at a mainline station in London and spent 2 nights in hospital. My device went off as I was in tachycardia which was 240-260 beats. My condition had been well controlled, following treatment about 8 years ago.

Boston Scientific IV/ICD lead problem - any experience to share please.
Has anyone subsequently had a different device fitted eg sub cutaneous
ICD
? I hope this set of questions is not too specific.
