Journaling failures and tips
I believe, and my neurologist and therapist have recommended, that I start journaling. This is something that I have wanted to do for decades and hoping, planning, and then failing again to start seems to create a daily source of frustration, guilt, and disappointment. If I could do one line a day that

How long for the intense pain of an ICD install to ease?
Had my ICD installation this morning. Oh my days, it feels like I have a spear through my shoulder ( or how I imagine that would feel anyway!) Consultant said worst pain lasts a week, please tell me he exaggerated, and it won't be too bad in a few days 🤔

4 months post TT
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

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. I’ve always been an active person doing weights, cycling

My Gabapentin Dilemma
Help! I need some advice regarding my Gabapentin treatments. This is my first post so I hope I don’t ramble too much. I’m over 70 years old with RLS for over 30-40 years. Fortunately I don’t have RLS attacks during the day but have them almost every night after I fall asleep. On high doses of Gabapentin

I’m well, still work and walk regularly. Within normal weight range. I have been diagnosed with HOCM for 35 years and

changed to aripiprazole
Hello ladies I hope you’re ok. I have recently changed from risperidone to aripiprazole and I have sooo much more energy. It’s made me realised how sedated I’ve been for three years on risperidone. I realise energy or aka thesis is a symptom of changed antipsychotics. I haven’t been able to sit still

Ablation/S-ICD Recovery Time - why is it taking so long?
Bit of a long one… Hi all, I’m currently recovering from a 4 week hospital stay and struggling with the recovery period. I was admitted for investigation due to a high burden of PVCs which were making me very symptomatic. I had a previous diagnosis of low burden of PVCs, as well as mild dilated cardiomyopathy

EF of 35
Hello all, I was first diagnosed with heart failure in November 2017, had an ICD fitted 6 months later. Last June I was taken into hospital with sepsis, I went into septic shock twice and almost died twice, they suspected that those nasty little critters were hiding in the ICD. After returning home

ICD Firing
I’ve recently (6 weeks ago) had a icd fitted for VT. I am also in stubborn AF. This was all very sudden. I’m a 46 year old who has been active and fit previously. Last Wednesday I was out for a light run, and the ICD fired as my AF triggered it. I felt absolutely fine so the shock came as quite a, well
