Hi everyone and Merry Christmas,
Well since last time I have had 10 days in hospital and now hopefully have a new plan. The docs think that the reason I was having so many shocks was because the amioderone had finally leached out of my system (I was taken off it in August) and the bicor alone wasn't keeping the arrythmias under control. Short story is my thyroid has been knocked out so it can'y be affected any more and back on the amio - loading dose at the moment which is still leaving me a bit heavy headed but long term should be much better. Haven't regained my confidence as yet and expect that to take a while but am starting at a cardiac support group early in the New Year which I am looking forward to.
I love checking this site and hearing about others stories and worries and successes - it really helps to know that there are others out there who feel the same way I do. It's great to be home with my family for Christmas and hopefully many more to come.
