Hello from a new AF forumite downunder in Australia-I'm guessing there might be a few fellow members down here. I found I had AFs about 4 months ago and I'm sure I'll have more Qs as I progress down this unwelcome road. Have seen a local CRS and am presently about 2 months after botox and taking a small dose of valium and playing wait & see. So far it doesn't seem to help the pain except drop it from really really bad to varying between really bad and just bad.
I have a couple of preliminary issues that others might comment on.
First has anyone checked out acupuncture for the spasims. Has been suggested by a pharmacist friend as a possibility if we are ready to try anything
Also I have an artificial heart valve which keeps me on the bloodthinner warfarin which always complicates usage of other drugs (especially painkillers) and surgery. Anyone been dealing with their AF in the same situation?
Finding this site is really comforting-- I'm not alone and you all sound really personally supportive to each other at a time when its really needed
