LilacGal??

Does anyone remember her? 

I have been a regular reader of this forum but havent posted in a long time.  I notice LilacGal hasnt been on since Feb.

I wondered about LilacGal as she was having her fourth ablation and I wanted to know how she was doing.  I had my fourth ablation back in October as well so I would like to compare how she is doing to what I am feeling now.

 

Hi Juliette.
My last ablation was back in October. I dont have runs of VT anymore. I was still get some pvcs that were annoying but I have learned that a lot of what happens with my heart is anxiety related. Also I have done a lot of reading on the benefits of taking magnesium for irregular heart rythms. I started taking it three weeks ago. It works!!! The irregular rythm is gone pretty much. Every few days I feel a minor skipped beat that last only seconds...that's it! :) I feel great. My energy level is back up. I read that doctors wont tell you about magnesium because most research out there is done by pharmaseutical companies and magnesium is a natural mineral therefore they dont promote it's benefits. Under the care of my cardiologist I am weaning off my beta blocker (Atenolol) Actually yesterday I totally forgot to take it and I felt great. I only realized this morning that I had forgotten yesterday.
Sorry to hear you are loosing confidence in ablations. My cardiologist used a new technique that worked. It's a balloon they inserted into my heart that works like a GPS and pins points EVERY spot that needs to be ablated. Let me find the name of the procedure and I will post it for you.
I tried emailing Liliacgal but her email address isnt working anymore. I hope she is ok.
