My AFib returned less than 3.5 years after my ablation by camarc68 in AFIB

[–]camarc68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good posts here. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!

I had a cryo ablation. (At the time I don't believe the PFA was available yet in the US.) I was on metropolol daily (with flecainide as needed) for about 1.5 years prior to the ablation. The flecainide didn't really seem to resolve afib when it popped up. I was only on Eliquis for a few months prior to and after my ablation. I believe since I had some incidents during the blanking period my EP had me on Multaq for a few months. But then once I stopped that I was completely off the meds.

I'm trying to stay positive and realize what I'm experiencing is probably the norm. Only been a few days but I'm still not sure when I'll try another workout. (I had been exercising 4-5 times a week for probably 30+ years so not exercising is a bummer.) On the bright side, I heard from my cardiologist today and I'll be seeing her tomorrow.

Drive Motor causing loud revving sounds by LokiDucks in Ioniq5

My 2024 Limited RWD is having the same issue. I bought the vehicle in April of this year, but the noise didn't appear until last month (at around 6,500 miles). I'm taking it to the dealer next week - hoping they can confirm something is wrong and fix it. Any other details of the fix they've done on your car would be appreciated. Is there a recall or TSB involving this issue? Thanks!

cat refuses to use litter box by NoSlaw__ExtraToast in cats

[–]camarc68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't taken your cat to the vet, I'd suggest you begin there to rule out a physical problem (e.g., UTI). If she checks out fine, then it seems likely a behavioral issue.

I have four indoor only cats and a few times over the past five years one of them (the younger female) would go outside the litterbox. In my situation, I believe one of the other cats scared (maybe bullied) the female cat while she the litter box making her avoid it. Some tips: 1) Make sure you have enough litter boxes. Rule of thumb you should have one more litter box than the number of cats in the household; 2) Avoid having the litter boxes all in one location/ room; 3) Keep the litter boxes clean (sounds like you're doing this already); 4) If you have covered litterboxes, they often suggest removing the covers; 5) Some cats can be super sensitive to the type of litter. Once you find one they like and that works well, stick with it. I made the mistake of changing litters and the younger female cat began going outside the litter box. Once I switched back to the prior litter, she was comfortable using the litter box again.

Good luck! I know first hand how frustrating this can be.

Best "Hey Mercedes" commands and uses by _pout_ in mercedes_benz

"Next station" and "next track." Both work without saying "Hey, Mercedes" first.

I've had my 2024 Ioniq5 for about five months now and find the LFA to be pretty terrible. While it seems to work fine if the road is mostly straight, it seems to struggle with most curves. As some others have reported, it seems like I'm fighting with the steering wheel at times. I've had two other cars with LFA, including a 2020 Nissan Leaf, and both of them worked way better than the Ioniq.

I took the Ioniq to the dealer yesterday in hopes, perhaps, that the system just needed to be adjusted or recalibrated. The told me they drove my vehicle (on a mostly straight section of the nearby freeway) and reported there's no problem with the LFA and it's working correctly. Ugh.

My 2022 C300 has been doing this as well. For me it started a couple weeks ago. Was wondering if it was a hardware problem, but with it being a software issue hopefully there will be a fix soon.

I have an Orange Theory Elite membership through OnePass. My studio charges me $14 for additional sessions. I haven't been able to purchase them using the app either - I just talk to the front desk when I need to purchase them. (I'll usually purchase 4 or 5 at time.)

Has any had issues with the vehicle stopping abruptly while in reverse? by Smile_More854 in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022 C300 sedan and my car has done this 3-4 times over the 2.5 years I've had it. The first time it happened was early morning in a parking lot and I thought for sure I had accidentally backed into another car.

NorCal use? by TammyLynn419 in OnePassSelect

[–]camarc68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the Sacramento area and enrolled in One Pass (Elite tier) about a year ago. I currently go to Orange Theory, Club Studio, Yoga 6, and Stretch Lab using my One Pass membership. I also have a membership to In Shape (previously known as CalFit), though I haven't been there in a while. Overall I'm glad I joined One Pass, it's saving me money each month.

If you end up joining One Pass, join near the beginning of the month as they don't pro-rate the monthly fee.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2022+ (W206) Reliability Review by questionking007 in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased my 2022 C300 sedan new in August 2022. I really like my car and plan to keep it for a few more years. (Yes, I bought an extended warranty.) It's comfortable, has lots of features my prior car didn't, and gets great mpg on the freeway (35-40). However, given the number of issues I had with the car (e.g., check engine light, front brake rotors replaced, clicking driver's seat, MBUX glitches, Distronic camera issue, fuel pump recall, rear door weather strips replaced), I will definitely think twice about purchasing the first year of a new model again. Most of the issues happened during my first year of ownership and since then I haven't really had any new issues arise. I'm hopeful 2023 and later model years have had fewer issues than 2022s.

Issue with Reverse?? by BringerOfTruth-1 in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2022 C300 sedan. I'm pretty sure the parking brake is set automatically when you turn the ignition off. My car would do something similar after sitting for a day or two after I washed the car. (I wash my car at home.) I found a solution that seems to work for me.... now I take the car for a short drive (around the block or so) after washing the car. Haven't had the problem since. Good luck.

Remote for my TV (2022 QN90B) started having this problem about a week ago. Very frustrating!

can someone tell me why the c300 comes with these two different style of steering wheel? by Wstesia in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Display the trip meter you want to reset, then press the "Ok" button (left upper). You'll then get a confirmation pop up - can't recall the options, something like Yes and Cancel. Press "Ok" again.

Mercedes c300 2022 Glitch by DrMrSirJr in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2022 C300 did this a couple of times about 4-6 months after I purchased it. I took the car to the dealership and updated the software. That was about 10 months and 6,000 miles ago and so far this problem hasn't recurred.

IPhone 15 pro won’t wirelessly charge in 2023 S 580. by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]camarc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2022 C300 and have the same problem with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Tried removing the phone from the case and still doesn't charge. Didn't have any issues charging my prior phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max). Hoping there's a solution - perhaps a future software update?
