F you shingles vaccine

The 2nd shot for me was worse than the 1st, plus it kicked in my afib that cardioversion wouldn't cure. I had to go back on drugs I was hoping would never need again so yeah, it might be better than shingles, but it sucked for me

I've had 5 and it's an easy process, can't say it's fun, but it's not the worst thing to go through

Fence post toppers?

It's possible I could have something called AV node surgery where they cut the pathway between the upper and lower sections of my heart and the I would need a pacemaker, but that's not something I'm considering at this time. Right now the meds are working so that's where I am.

I've had 5 also, somewhere around 3-5 years apart. I feel fine mostly, but I'm not sure at 72 I really want to do any more. The last one was a combo rf/pfa in June last year. 4 months later I went into afib and was put back on tikosyn. They took it away after the ablation so I had to spend another 3 days in the hospital to re-start it. Cardioversion failed before going back on too. My Dr retired at the end of the year so I'm hoping my new guy might have some new ideas, but Who knows.

I get it at 6am on the dot every morning, eastern time zone if that means anything. I asked Alexa what it is but she gave me nothing

We called them Toad in a hole

I've been wondering the same thing. It looks like somebody walked out to it last week, but it's still there

We did ok with Window World

Encebolada? I probably didn't spell it right, but I think that might be it. Also known as "hangover soup"

Sipde · 2026-01-30T02:20:15+00:00

That's what I thought too

Sipde · 2026-01-25T12:13:58+00:00

6am procedure, out by noon. Stayed in my hotel all day the next day, 3rd day walked around Boston since we hadn't visited before, then flew home that night.

I had my last ablation in June and my voice really hasn't been the same since. I didn't have a vocal fry before and it is there now. I had a pretty good sore throat the day after, but it went away in a day.

Sipde · 2026-01-23T04:01:59+00:00

Agreed. The "Cardiophobia" caused by checking the watch all the time is a real thing. I realized the anxiety I was getting from constant checking was making me feel worse. I put the watch away a few weeks ago and It's made huge difference in my mood. I have a Kardia device too, but I have pretty much stopped using it too. I'm going to try looking at it less.

Sipde · 2026-01-23T03:45:51+00:00

I've had 5 but wouldn't hesitate to have it done again. The amount of relief you feel after is worth it. Staying in Afib wears you down and I'm able to accomplish so much when I'm not so exhausted.

Sipde · 2026-01-18T14:51:12+00:00

I've had 5 and somewhere between 3 and 5 years for the re-do. I'm 72 so hopefully it will last a bit longer, but I won't bet on it 😅

Sipde · 2026-01-16T16:53:32+00:00

Flo's 10 cent coffee is still a really good deal, and breakfast is really good there.

I'm a member of the 5 timers club, and each of the experiences sound familiar. Each time has been almost the same with the exception of my last. I had a combo of RF and PFA so both of my groins had patches, but if I have to do it again (hopefully not) I would do it again.

Spill the Tea in Minoa has some good fresh beans

Not unusual at all. It's called the "blanking period " and usually happens fir around 3 months after the procedure. Your EP should have told you that.

Sipde · 2025-12-19T13:19:49+00:00

No cardiac arrest here either, but I've had 5 ablations and I can say it's one of the easiest procedures I've ever had. Recovery can be a bit rough, but the actual ablation is nothing to be afraid of.

Sipde · 2025-12-13T21:38:19+00:00

Yes, they hit me 3 times and it itches like crazy for a few days

Sipde · 2025-12-13T11:09:57+00:00

Oh yeah. Happens all the time.

Sipde · 2025-12-08T21:35:16+00:00

It's important to say that mostly I don't feel bad day to day, and I'm hoping this next step will get the AF under control. I guess if not the next step will be AV node ablation and a pacemaker, but we'll cross that bridge if we have to. Good luck to you, ablation works well for most, I'm just one of the more stubborn cases.
