Thanks for that Erling, very interesting. It is also interesting that the link given appears not to be Afibbers.org Is this the unseen elephant in the living room ;-) ???? Barry G.by Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am currently looking into how to help clear my 13 year old daughters facial 'teenage' acne which she started getting at 9 years old if that makes any sense. She is a terrible eater, eating mainly rice / noodles and just fish or meat with virtually no fruit or vegetables and I'm always reminding her to drink water. I make sure she takes her daily vitamin C though. I am now lookinby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi Hans and Erling, good to hear that a person who tried to advise/help others so much finally made it to the promised land, like us three, Erling took the short tricky rascal. Without question you have both help people struck down with this hidieous complaint far and above the call of duty (along with Jackie, GeorgeN etc etc etc) Afibbers.org rules OK :-) ... British term.

Hi again Gary. My curiousity got the better of me and I googled 'Wandering Stomache' this is what turned up. Hans Afib BB 2005................ Hi PC and Hans, A couple of questions for you in simple terms (i'm medically uneducated): 1. I was diagnosed with a "wandering stomach" when I had a Barium meal scan a few years back.

Adrian, I booked my appointment for my AF second ablation, first in Bordeuax, and for the next two months I never had another episode or troubles with PACs/ PVCs. To convince myself I still needed to go I exercised myself into AF on purpose a day or so before my appointment date and I then knew I had to travelled to France. Ablation No 5 was carried out because I had suffered Left Atrial Flby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gary, in your own words you describe that when you lie down the afib starts and if you stand up the afib stops and if you lie down again the afib starts. It surely makes sense to me this has nothing to do with your suppliment intake at all but then I am a layman. What also makes sense to me is that the simple movement of lieing down is trapping/ irritating the the vagal nerve - apparentby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Randy, ." I have identified that the three episodes I have had the past couple years are all Vagal. Three episodes over the last couple of year may possibly be considered normal though this obviously depends on how long and how dibilitating the episodes were. I was once on a boat with some good company where some of the guys were doing a bit of diving in Subic bay in the Philippiby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Barb, further to Hans post I can advise that an American lady - who contacted me via the BB a few years ago - who has already had one failed ablation here in Hong Kong decided she would go with Natale after much hesitation - her first ablation had to be aborted due to something going wrong with the proceedure. Dr Natale aparently advised her it would probably take two proceedures so to be prepby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Phyllis, Google ....www.fortisescorts.in/ - I've tried this and it works so I copied and pasted here.

Phylis, apologies for the duplication of the similar posts. New to the updated BB format, never noticed the Page 2, and thought that my previous posts had been lost in cyberspace. Barryby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi again Phyllis. I have re-read your posts and you definitely mention you need an ablation in the ventricals for PVCs which at first I considered you meant PACs in the Atria and maybe you where getting a bit mixed up as many do when coming to the board for help. If indeed things need doing in the Ventricals then this would appear to be a different kind of ablation altogether than one for aby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi David, just dropped in the BB the last few days and noticed your post Icy Plunge. As you posted on 20th March you may have given up on recieving many more replies so I copy below my reply earlier today that you may not find.

Hi David, my 42 year old daughters last ablation for AF ( No 3) was done in Manchester England by a Dr Davison and he told her that this time he would try something different i.e. Cybroballoon which if I remember correctly uses a freezing technique rather than RF. She will be having ablation No4 in Bordeaux sometime this year when I can fit her in at Bordeaux. My daughter just like me is apby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi again Phyllis. I made a mistake in thinking you may have been getting PACs when you were saying you were getting PVCs, many people who come to the BB get mixed up easily with things like that. If you do have true PVCs then I know very little of that problem though no doubt they all tie in with the AF senerio going off the B,T & Quadgeminy you have indicated. My first ablation was atby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Erling & Jackie I just came across this by accident last night and found it very intreging and thought you might be interested.

My case at Bordeaux was more or less the same as Gill's i.e. second ablation within days of the first, all for free in June? 2008. Had to pay a few $$ more for an extra nights stay though ;-( Barry G.by Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Phyliss, I was much the same as you i.e. successful ablation for AF, then followed Left Atrial Flutter which was finally stopped by cardioversion or whatever, which then brought on the Bigeminy, Trigeminy and Quadgiminy along with other random PACs or PVCs- can't tell the difference. Finally had ablation No 5 which stopped all but 'normal' PACs that everyone gets but are bliby Barry G. - AFIBBERS FORUM
