Update-Loop recorder implanted

Hi ALL,

I had the reveal loop recorder implanted yesterday. Everything went well. Hopefully, this will let us know if the fainting problem can be corrected by a pacemaker or at least give us some idea of what to do next. I am also going to try ritalin as that seems to help. Hopefully, we can get these fainting spells under some control.

The headache is pretty bad right now, but I am not sure what else i can do about it.

Pain free days,

I so hope the recorder is able to record some findings that will give doctors the information they need so they can help you out. You deserve to have someone "fix" the fainting, and maybe it will help with the migraines too.

Praying for you.

Good Luck Sailing!

You have been battling so much for so long. You deserve a break!!!

Sending positive thoughts your way

I can't wait for the results. I hope it will yield something useful.

I hope the recorder will give you some information so you can finally get things fixed because you really really really deserve to feel better. Thinking of you, SM! Thanks for keeping us posted.

I hope it works. You need a break. Wouldn't it be nice if there is a connection between the fainting and migraines...? and this would take care of it. Maybe wishful thinking but lack of oxygen to the brain is not good.

Good luck Sailing.

Watch for post-op infections (hopefully doc put you on anti-biotics). You'll be sore for several weeks.

I hope you can get some data that rules in/out an electrophysiology problem.

Hope all goes well Sailing, and you get some answers.

I have everything crossed that this will give you the answers needed to get a treatment that works.

Take care

Hi All,

Thanks so much for all the support and kind words. I am hoping this will give us an answer as well. As alwasys, I will keep you up to date.

All the best to you, sounds as though you could do with heaps of good luck at the moment.

Another step forward! My best to you!

Best of luck! I have a pacemaker, and it has helped some....especially with the fainting part...but not always with the migraines. But ANYTHING is better than how it was.

sailing m,
have you tried the birth control pill?
i was feeling weird, panic attacks, etc. and the pill really helped.
i dont know how and i dont know why, but i thought i'd put that out there.
i hope things get better for you,
