Hello bill0996
Would you consider sending a private message (PM) to Colleen, our moderator , expressing your support for the creation of such a group? I think it might help. The more of us who indicate we are interested in participating in adedicated support group , the more likely we might get one.
Colleen, when I contacted her, said they were looking to see if other groups could be added. I think if enough of us express an interest in the creation of pacemaker support group it might just happen. Please spread the word.

Although you sent your message to bill0996 I am going to contact Colleen about this. Colleen monitors our posts and I see she did a like to when I mentioned this as a new group.

The number of individuals that have ICDs, Pacemakers, or both a ICD/Pacemaker is in the millions. I know I went through so much with mine (on my 3rd one) that I could fill pages with what happend and what was done to correct it.

I have a Boston Scientific AICD/Pacemaker and on my 3rd one. Some of my wires are NOT MRI compliant but most ICD/Pacemakers and their wires are MRI compliant. Does not mean if yours is not compliant can't have a MRI it is they have to take special precautions.
