I haven't posted in a long time. I think I have been too frustrated. I'm not even going to get into it, however today I think is the beginning of a resolution. t least I hope so. I went to USC this morning to discuss my second Zio patch results and it ended with the decision to put in a pace maker. I feel ok about it. I know it's kind of drastic.

Gad. I have been reading back through your posts for the six-nine months. What you have been through.

I hope the pacemaker gives you some relief. This is so debilitating.

At least now you have doctors who are taking your illness seriously and trying to treat.

YES. I am seeing a great Dr. She is seriously amazing. It's funny to me that she trained one of the other cardio's I saw, because they couldn't be more different. I am just so relieved to be taken seriously. I've been told to go to psych, relax, etc. One doc even showed a patient's tele strip and said, "This is what a real sick person looks like." This is the same doc that told everyone at my job I'm non compliant and don't take my meds and that's why I keep getting admitted to the hospital. Not taking into account I had cdiff, maybe I was crapping out my meds? Sorry for the rant, just very frustrated. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.
