Hi Ruth36 - sounds like we are having much the same journey. I also use a cane, and now a rollator. I have an appointment coming up with my cardiologist to discuss putting in a Watchman device, which deals directly with the part of the heart that causes the AFib. People I know who have this device are sooooo much happier than those of us still stuck in the drug formulary. I have started framing my questions and discussions with the medical people beginning with "this is not an acceptable long-term solution - what else can we do?" I think we are conditioned to accept that "that's just how it is" or "but your labs look great!" instead of our quality of life being up for discussion. I'd suggest reading up on the watchman and asking for a serious conversation with your cardiologist. I'll report back after my appointment in a few weeks.
