I think i'm at least one step closer as to what's going on--Had a good conversation with the monitor lady this evening. They are getting my readings in on a daily basis and have had at least a couple of documented instances where my heart rate has dipped into the low 40's during the day! she was actually surprised and thought it must have been while I was napping--unfortunately I don't get to nap during the day! This final week she said to trigger, trigger trigger any and all instances for more documentation! They should have the final results within a couple of weeks if my dr. doesn't call before then. I'm so ready to move on! Thanks for all your support and sorry I'm such a whiner

Seems like you've been in limbo forever! You don't come across as whining, just frustrated and tired of not feeling well, who wouldn't?! Being thorough is good, but there comes a time when they just need to give you answers. Sounds like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, yay.

I'm not sure if they were trying to be thorough--as much as they were trying to figure it out themselves--hopefully they are coming closer to it! like I said i'm not even sure if my answer is a PM, medicine change or what--but you're so right i'm so tired of not feeling well and frustrated and it drives me crazy that I can't do things I used to be able to do! point in case--I wanted to go walking around a big local mall tonight with my hubby apparently there's a lot of climbing stairs and such and he's afraid to take me. i'm starting to lose out on fun now and that's what drives me crazy!!

UPDATE!

It comes off on sunday Morning! then I send it back to Lifewatch and hopefully soon I will find out what's going on. I am so ready! still lightheaded most of the time some days/times more than others! I will also be glad to get the electrodes off because my skin is rebelling! itchy and some areas irritated from I think the gel?? and as far as I'm concerned the answers can't come soon enough! I just hope they can figure it out.
