I joined the forum in July, just after I had my pacemaker fitted I have found it really supportive just feeling that I am a part of such a supportive community. I am having a bit of a roller coaster few months. Pacemaker was a bit of a suprise and although I recovered physically very well, I was back at work within 2 weeks, I have been through all sorts of denial since then - results got mixed up at the hospital, I was just having a bad day etc. My Dr also noticed that I have a bit of a tremor and sent me off to see a neurologist. On Wednesday I found out that I Parkinson's disease - the good news is that at least I am forgetting about the pacemaker! At the moment I just don't know whether I'm coming or going. The meds that they have put me on are making me feel really sick, and for the first time ever I can feel my heart or pacemaker pounding. I was just wondering if there is anyone else who has been through a similar experience?
