"I can do anything I want, just not for very long before I want to sit down."

That's familiar territory for me, too! No afib, but a mitral valve they tell me needs repaired. I told them not until they agree to do the transcath procedure instead of cracking my chest open. I think they'll cave in at my October appt.

I am scrubbing tile on the kitchen counters today. It's going about 3 feet at a time. Then a short break to let one section dry before starting the next.

I used to be a super high energy person, and I get disgusted at the pace I have to work now. It's often hard for me to accept limitations.

I’m the same I have no energy and get extremely tired went to clear the pond plants today as they had over grown. 10mins was all I managed. I also had to stop my pain meds as Im already on 75mg aspirin and the meds were also aspirin based. I have neuropathic Pain following complicated previous surgeries on my spine. I also have extreme joint pain, so at the moment am in agony. Have been prescribed co-codamol. 3rd week on HU, also take Lyrica, Sertraline. Nothing really helps with the pain - I try to distract myself it is hard.
