Afib and neuropathy

Hi, @davidjp - my initial (more obvious) SFN symptoms started in my feet around 2007. I had developed a-fib around that time, maybe a year later. I ended up needing a cardiac ablation which worked perfectly to resolve the a-fib. Unfortunately, the SFN continued and progressed tremendously. I guess I can say, at least my heart is fine. (Thankfully!!)

Hi runnergirl, I wish my cardiologist had informed me of the various treatments of Afib when it was diagnosed. I did read in my local paper about seizing off the left atrial appendage several years later, and did get that done, but now think the Afib has been there too long to get the ablation done. It really doesn't bother me that much, at least, that I am aware of. At my last recent appt., my cardiologist said "see you in a year' so I assume that I am not that bad.
Good luck with the SFN. Do stay as active as possible.
