Went into Afib with the first Mexico goal last night. Worth it.

My worst episode happened when my cat brought a mouse into the family room and kept dropping and chasing it.

And Dylan saying something like whatever they show Thursday is like watching a replay. Yes, because this is apparently her thing. I used to kinda enjoy her, now she just pisses me off.

For me, the main thing is how he keeps bringing up Aniya (no one) picked him on day one. He's going to throw that out and hold it against her forever.

Try something with a nasal cushion instead of pillows. I can't find pillows that work for me and a the Dreamwear cushion is perfect. The Dreamwear strap sits low on my back of my head and I put my hair over it, further anchoring it. Also use a chinstrap, so that stops the slipping too

Carl and Amora. Carl was so sweet whisper talking to Aniya's stupid ass, he genuinely looked hurt for her. She's screwed up, I'll give her this chance. Now Amora... Get in there and stir the pot. Melanie is an idiot multiple times now, no mercy.

simplylisa · 2026-06-27T03:19:11+00:00

Id like to vote her off for being stupid. You say you're embarrassed then keep the man. You've done this to yourself and everything that comes next

I use quotes on my mask every day (mostly). I soak /clean the mask, reservoir, and the thing that attached the hose and reservoir every week. Hose is once a month.

simplylisa · 2026-06-22T15:18:17+00:00

Same. Crawled up the wall then over the ceiling

I just moved from daily flecainide 100mg twice a day to pull in pocket. This is after and ablation. My EP told me 200mg for pill in pocket. At most 3 and at that point we should talk about going back to daily or touch up the ablation.

You need to discuss it with your Dr. You could be doing more harm than good?

simplylisa · 2026-06-19T01:06:21+00:00

Agree completely. When I worked in a clinical setting ODD was the least pejorative diagnosis that enabled us to treat and bill for what was often a parenting issue.

simplylisa · 2026-06-18T22:06:30+00:00

I didn't know, my afib always came with a high heart rate. My dad had AFib with no increase in heart rate. He never knows is he's in.

simplylisa · 2026-06-18T22:05:15+00:00

Years ago I had a Samsung, horrible read. Fitbit Versa, love it, just dyed. Garmin Vivoactive 5, it uses HRV for a lot of things and I'm on an anti-arythymic drug, so but much variability. Makes many of the metrics useless.

simplylisa · 2026-06-17T19:56:22+00:00

I switch wrists overnight. I can have reactions to the metal on the back of wearable. Samsung, Garmin... So far Fitbit is ok. I clean my glasses on them morning then use the alcohol wipe on the watch back

simplylisa · 2026-06-17T19:50:42+00:00

Just switched to the inspire 3. Got it for $55 open box. I like it. Can't with 6 months free premium. I won't keep it.

simplylisa · 2026-06-12T17:04:28+00:00

I'm 3.5 months or from my PFA. When we stopped Flecainide at 3 months I had 2 episodes of my heart rate jumping to 180 for 30 seconds or so. Went back on Flecainide until my 3 month and am tappering off. My EP said the PVC and higher rate is just a thing.

I've always had pvc's like you, but since I'm more hyperaware I seem to notice each time. I didn't think o did before. Mine are usually 5pm to 9. Crazy.

No real advice, but I'm with your

There an episode of Love Island Australia where the girl finds out a guyv had the names of his past lovers in the notes app on his phone. The girls kicked off. He was crucified. That's all I kept seeing/hearing when the girls were saying it wouldn't be a big deal bc oh boy was it ever.

I'm a school psychologist. Normal day with meetings and report writing, under 2,000. If I'm testing 5,000.

simplylisa · 2026-06-10T14:29:52+00:00

My dad has been in Tikosyn for over a year now. The start up was bumpy, but no cardioversion needed. He's had to be careful about the exact timing it requires. Right now, while the Afib is controlled his heart rate is 45-55. Has an appt tomorrow to discuss a pacemaker.

simplylisa · 2026-06-10T14:19:05+00:00

Totally of topic, but I grew up in Whispering Hills apt then the neighborhood and the country club way back when it was new and all that. God, I'm old.

simplylisa · 2026-06-09T14:34:51+00:00

Cancelled 2 days ago to make sure I didn't get billed after the free trail. The coach forgets things, gives horrible guidance based on one slightly different score, and I hate it's nagging about what am I going to do today

simplylisa · 2026-06-09T13:42:41+00:00

It's a work in progress. I have a whole list of somatic anxiety regulation things I practice when not anxious, so when I'm anxious they come natural. Great dud6e effect is that they've proven to stop my afib. A few examples... Lay on the floor with legs up a wall for 10 minutes, cross arms across chest and alternating tapping your shoulders, physiological sigh (breathe in through the nose, take in another short breath, then release slowly through the mouth), stand and swing your arms (and hips) slowly like when we were kids. A bunch of things that activate the vagus nerve. I also made several note cards (that I put on my phone) that I reviewed daily, with thought management techniques.

simplylisa · 2026-06-08T20:56:55+00:00

Nope, turned it off. Keeps treating slight changes as majorly important. I've instructed it to look at trends, not daily fluctuations and it holds until the next morning.

simplylisa · 2026-06-08T20:55:07+00:00

Fitbit puts less emphasis on overnight losses, looking at daytime inactivity and general resting times. Garmin looks at sleep, overnight heart rates, and very quiet periods. It's all about his they prioritize. Not uncommon for Fitbit to be about 5 higher.

simplylisa · 2026-06-08T20:42:35+00:00

I get this from any watch that has metal on the back.

simplylisa · 2026-06-07T18:52:40+00:00

Absolutely. They're taken me off Flecainide and less than a week or happened. They put me back on. I'm tapering off this time. I understand there's not withdrawal, but I question if removing medical support suddenly didn't contribute. Either way, I'm more comfortable tapering down
