Just a quick update: I've went for my checkup at Papworth on Wednesday and the results weren't the best. Fluid is still a problem and despite being on maximum diuretics I've got to increase the Metolozone and spread out the Amiloride.

I've also been booked in for an Ablation to try and stem the Atrial Flutter and hopefully improve the heart function (thus helping with the fluid problem).

Has anyone experienced numbness of the feet taking VFEND?  I told my TX team and he took me off,  VFEND,  3 months ago, saying that would cause the numbness.  But I am still numb in some parts of my feet.  How long will this last?  My feet also stay cold. Continue
