Re: Mosquitoes - 4 years ago

Gosh, thank you Susan, i will go to the drug store tomorrow and see what they have and hopefully pick a couple up. I have never had anything like this before in my whole life, the bites turn into large, puffy very red and itch bad. I am wondering if because I am on a blood thinner if that is making those bites so bad.

Mosquitoes - 4 years ago

Ok, new topic. Mosquitoes, we have an influx of them this last few weeks, I have been bitten on my arms and legs, they are big red and very itchy..

Re: Is the blanking period really 3 months? Read on: - 4 years ago

i had perioxysmal AF for almost 20 years, during that time i never took an anti-coagulant, sometimes baby aspirin. I have low platelets as well, I am wondering if the low platelets are more responsible for not getting clots and not the Natto that Jackie thinks was instrumental in overcoming her clot. Just wondering as jackie and i both have low platelets.

Re: Eliquis vs. Xeralto - 4 years ago

I take Xarelto, i like taking it once a day only. As to taking it with a "full meal" I was told you didn't have to take in a lot of food, just some food. I have been on Xarelto for over a year and I take it in the evening and not with a "full meal" I will eat a small amount, perhaps a sandwich, just one slice of bread.

Re: Convergent Ablations - 4 years ago

Thanks Carey and George: The hospital that has a couple of EPs locally were talking about doing a Convergent Ablation on You Tube, that was a few years ago, don't know if they are still doing ablations that way, they said they do not use radiation. I will do some checking on an EP locally. L

Does Natalie do convergent ablations? I guess they don't use radiation in the procedure. Anyway I read about this a few years ago and wonder if this procedure is still being done.

Re: Long term survival of having a pacemaker? - 4 years ago

Susan: I had my pacemaker installed in 1997, the battery lasted until around 2012 and had a new pacer put in. So all totaled, I have had a pacemaker for 23 years and i have had AF during all those years, I had paraoximal AF until about a year ago when I became permanent AF. I am still going strong, so quit worrying.

Re: Atrial Fibrillation no better after second ablation - 4 years ago

Pompon You said " So, instead of having afib, which can be dangerous, one can only have ectopics. I know of people that have permanent AF and have lived with it for years and are doing ok, i had AF off and on for about 20 years before I went into permanent AF about a year ago. I didn't have ectopics, only had a few when i was in AF which usually lasted from 12 to 24 hours. ...

Well, i am glad you are ok, we have always been able to speak about what our experiences have been with AF, which has been helpful for most of us and we don't have to agree with everything. i take it that Trump was the President and got the vaccine as an inspiration for people to get the shot is why it was said on this topic. i have to say that for you to say because he was mentioned the&

Re: Vaccines - 4 years ago

. COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick Doesn't sound like the vaccine gives you antibodies, operates a little differently.

I wasn't looking for comfort, just facts----i don't intend to get the vaccine, which isn't a vaccine it is a mRNA gene therapy. I have read about the process about which this mRNA does its work.

Re: Vaccines - 4 years ago

There are probably some bad effects from the vaccine, but are just not known, I have read of a few deaths after getting the vaccine but whether it was due to something else is not told. This doctor in Florida is a puzzle: Health authorities are investigating the case of a Florida doctor who died from an unusually severe blood disorder 16 days after receiving the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
