Eunice18, I have also made such a request. I contacted Colleen to ask if this would be possible. There are many of us out there who have various cardiac issues but also have pacemakers or ICDs or CRTs. Some of the issues we experience with these devices are a topic all unto themselves. I think many people with pacemakers checkout the Mayo site but see nothing specifically for them in support group listing. So they move on. I have been chatting with others I know who have pacemakers and they do not see the point of joining since it appears there is nothing there for them. .
I think we have to build some momentum by sending in requests for the formation of such a support group. The more of us who ask for a support group dedicated to those of us with pacemakers, the more likely it will happen. The moderator(s) need to know that there is interest for a support group. And they will only know if we take the time to ask for one. Let's make it happen!
