What a day!!!
Well what a day. 2 weeks free from the Demons and what do they do? Rear their ugly head again. I have been having episodes all day and they are making me insane but I am trying not to focus on it solely. I am keeping busy and they are some doozies. I took way too much Xanax because I fell asleep at my computer at work today while typing. When I woke up my screen had all kinds of numbers and letters spread all across it. LOL. I feel if I could find something to occupy my time at the moment that I wouldn't be so geared into it. I haven't had any caffeine(well 2 little minature reese cups) if that counts for anything. I wish a miracle would happen. I have so many people praying for my life to get back to normal that I have to believe that it will. I have to let go and let God have his way. I wish he would rid me of the vicious DEMONS that live in my heart rhythm. I am so tired of thinking that they are through and what do they do? Show themselves. I am not going to let it get me down. I have to keep on going and fight it. No pulse taking.. that isn't going to make them stop. No holding my breath ... that is not going to make them stop. I have to be positive. I am really not afraid like I use to be. I am annoyed. I wish we all could have a day of peace from them. They aren't going to leave because I want them to. They are mine and I have to carry them with me where ever I go. I appreciate everyones support on here. Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement. No one understands unless they have been where we are. Thanks everybody. God Bless
Thank God for people that understand. Thanks to all the friends on here that respond. It does mean the world to me.Today is a new day and I can tell already that it will be a battle because when I woke up this morning there they were waiting on me. I will cope today and tomorrow and the next until they decide to take a break again and leave me alone. I do agree the pager thing is funny. That is kind of what some of them feel like. I have to leave the Xanax at home today or I might be fired for sleeping on the job!! LOL. Thanks again guys you are great. I mean it. God Bless each and everyone of you.
awwww sweetie, you have me tearing up!!! you poor thing, sorry you had such an upsetting day
i do agree, nobody really does understand unless they live it!!
big big hugs

Hi,
Sorry to hear of your bad day. I can't even imagine what it would be like to go for years without feeling PVCs. Even during good times they usually manage a few melodramatic episodes everyday. There I am, sitting and talking to friends, and wham, my heart goes into a brief session of PVCs, often feeling like it's out of control. Nothing serious has been seen on the various Holter and Event Monitors, and I am sure that some of the bizarre episodes were recorded, yet it can't quite stop that reaction that ensues when one is not expecting it.
The closest that any person (without an arrhythmia) came to understanding what I (all of us actually) go through when these unexpected episodes arise was when he was at a restaurant and the waiting line was lengthy. At that time, it was popular for the restaurant to give each group a small pager that looked like a drink coaster and was sometimes worn by the possessor around the neck. The pager was set to vibrate, and when the time came for the group to be seated, they were paged. Well, he placed it on his neck, in the summer time, while wearing a very thin shirt. The pager hung in the center of his chest on top of his shirt. He forgot all about wearing it, when wham, he received the page to be seated. Problem is that he forgot he was wearing it, instead he thought he was having a heart attack. Apparently he grabbed at his chest rather forcefully in front of all of his friends. I get the feeling that they got a good laugh about it, and he was quite embarrassed.
We have the internal Pager, the pager that goes off all hours of the night and day, and each episode, to many of us, is as startling as the one incident was to my friend.
Good luck and I wish you a speedy return to weeks and months free of symptoms.

Yep, we're here for you! Not sure about a miracle, but some relief would be nice too. You've got the right idea with learning to cope with the pvcs. As you know, it's harder than it seems. But, you are proof that it can be done, if only in baby steps. Not to worry, we're here to walk with you!
Two tiny Reese cups, that better not be a problem! That would be awful! Sometimes just a bit of chocolate gets me through : )
