Geez. I've been on TIKOSYN since Dec 2011 and cannot, for the life of me, despite ingesting every trigger I know, get 30 seconds of aFib needed to qualify for a research study.
I suppose this shows us that (a) no single med is forever; and (b) different strokes for different folks, TIKOSYN is not for everyone as I have been told.
I am hoping it lasts long enough to permit me, in NSR, to have my left atrium shrink from 60 mm down below 50mm and get me in line for an ablation (or three). I am presently down to 56mm. LA. Hoping that I keep shrinking in NSR; fingers crossed. I am watching this thread with great interest as I have no idea where to turn if and when MY TIKOSYN stops doing its job.
