Local Time: 05:14 AM |  Need some positive vibes! Hi all I found out last night that I have a heart Arrhythmia that needs urgent treatment to prevent me having a major stroke. I've been battling it for the last couple of months. I have been told that I either need to go on daily anti-arrhythmic medication (complete with side effects) for the rest of my life (I'm only 31!!) or IF my medical insurance company decides to approve it (they are dragging their heels on this treatment), I need to have a type of ablation done. Evidently I was born with this and it hasn't been influenced by lifestyle - it's just been waiting to rear it's ugly head. I'm a bit freaked at the moment as I was hoping that whatever I had would just go away. I'm meant to be going overseas for a 10 day holiday at the end of March but even that has been put in doubt as no travel insurance will cover me (unless they have horrendous excesses) as my condition is newly diagnosed as as yet untreated. I'm gutted and a bit scared at this stage. So any hugs, positive thoughts, or similar experiences you have would be greatly appreciated... Thanks  |

Local Time: 12:14 PM | Oh Kim, this sucks so much. I can't imagine how stressed and anxious you must feel. I'm not at all familiar with heart Arrythmia, so I have no idea what to say about it. I really hope that your insurance company approves it and you can do whatever is necessary to treat this. You have a beautiful heart and it sucks to hear this.  Lots of virtual hugs and positive thoughts coming your way |

Local Time: 05:14 AM | Thanks everyone. I'll hear from my specialist today about what meds I have to take, and how they're going to approach the insurers. It's crazy, he said the procedure has been done successfully here for over 10 yrs yet the insurance companies will still only approve it on a case by case basis. Fingers crossed they take pity on me and my age and let me have it asap. |
