Having problems with message search?
Hi John,
I saw your first posting and sorry for the delay in responding. Firstly I am pleased that you have been responding to others on line and a good way to keep in touch and learn about new approaches.I gather from your descriptions that you view life differently since your therapy (shock), similarly young people with various heart rhythm problems,especially a hereditary condition called "Brugada Syndrome" benefit from the protection of an ICD.
I do understand the inconvenience cause by loosing your driving license following therapy, especially after the first six months is up.I run a support group and not all members are able to attend all the time,I keep them inform by sending a newsletter. It may be the support group that Ben has suggested to you do a similar thing.Lastly have you inquired from the hospital who carried out your implant?
I am happy to mail you a copy of our newsletter and you will find my contact details on the AA website.Please stay in touch and it is very good to hear from you..
