TV Receivers

Can the remote TV device that operates on radio waves to change tv channels effect your pacemaker? My tv receiver is a dual unit to operate two tv's. Any information is appreciated.

Jack

I regret so deeply that I did not log into this group while Jack was going through his difficulties. I know now that he was not alone and not to believe doctors that tell you "everything is fine...it takes adjusting" I blame myself for not being more determined to get to the bottom of Jack's problems. If only I had you guys to talk to..... your discussions would have given me the courage to demand answers and actions. God bless one and all. Jack's wife

18 to 24 months!


Hello everyone, I have had a Cardiologist checkup today. It appears that I have 18 to 24 months left on this pacer.....

The Doc looked a little sad as he shared this news with me. I thought uhmmmmm.... well my day has not gone as I had hope. Really feeling sad. uhmmmm So I smiled at the doc (he is sort of cute) and said "YOO HOO!" That's great news! He look a bit bewildered! I laughed and said. "Well at least I have another 2 years on this model." Maybe the new one will...

Lenora----return to sender?

Hi,
to all... especially Lenora's friends!!
I had a Card today returned form the states which I sent to Lenora.... with a message Return to sender "Vacant" unable to forward..... As a Uk resident I can only assume that means she has left that address and no farwarding address is available.
Please correct me if I am wrong.....
My guess is that she moved North to be with her Sons...I 'm sure she knows we still think of her; and wish her the best of health and happiness........a...

tiredness

Hi PM Pals

Does anyone out there suffer from extreme tiredness. I just can't seem to shake it. It is worse when I sit down to the computer. I know they say blue is a relaxing colour but the energy seems to just drain out of me. My blood test was ok with just a rise in iron level. My ecg showed no further changes. My doc rang me last night. My only conclusion is that it is the heat (it is summer here) or I am just getting plain old and worn out. My brain is so active but the bod...

Okay I'll ask.....


Just what is DMMS and how many people actually would go there and why?

I realize that I am dating myself, but hey this is the year that I will turn 55! So if I don't ask now I might run out of steam and I would never know. Now you all know that it would not be a good thing! How could I sleep at night if I had to wonder.....

Now someone please take mercy on me and bring me up to speed before I resort to phoning my granddaughter I can almost hear her chuckles now...

POOR PACING SERVICES IN UK

The UK is poorly served for pacing services compared to Western Europe. The service is also patchy what we call here a postcode lottery. To catch up on our near western europe partners the UK needs to implant another 28000 pacemakers per year. This is a shocking indictment of our health services and our government. People who need pacemakers are not getting them when they need them and this of course can and does prove fatal. Pacing specialists are not getting the support they need. There also...

Questions from pacer-to-be

If there is anyone who got a PM while asymptomatic could they let me know how they got on?

I am meeting my cardiologist next week to finally plan getting a PM. I have complete congenital heart block and I am 34. Thankfully I have no symptoms. Seeing as I am asymptomatic I dont expect the pm to make me feel better, but will it slow me down? and for how long? I can only imagine that its a bizarre sensaton...can you feel it ticking away. (my heart rate is just below 40bpm so I imagi...

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
