June 11, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, TEW said: How many people with adverse effects from the vaccine would have had equal or worse adverse effects from getting Covid? That’s the real question, because essentially this is an opportunity cost. No way to really know the answer to this, but I have to think someone who had issues from the vaccine would have more serious issues from Covid. Yes, I agree.... people who have severe reactions to the vaccine, I think they would fare worse if they had faced the virus without being vaccinated. Unless you plan to spend the rest of your life in a bubble, everyone will be exposed to coronavirus at some point in their lives. It is inevitable at this point. So do you want to face it after being vaccinated, or not?
June 11, 20215 yr Oh trust me I get it, I see idiots spewing their garbage all the time. I have a couple of people on Facebook that do it constantly but I can't bring myself to block them because it's so ridiculous that it's borderline entertaining. I just feel like it's a good thing to discuss all aspects as long as everyone involved is being factual. The myocarditis issue hits close to home for me as I have dilated cardiomyopathy (family history unfortunately). Like TEW said though, it's all about opportunity cost and I decided the minuscule chance of heart inflammation via vaccination was still better than getting Covid with a heart condition. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't something that I was at least slightly concerned about, but I don't think that's a totally unreasonable stance to take given my situation. In the end I've got both shots and haven't fell over..... yet.
June 11, 20215 yr I just watched a guy checking out at a store took his credit card out of his wallet, put it in his mouth while he fished around in his wallet for other things, then inserted his slobbery covid suit credit card into the reader and punched in his pin. If there’s ever a person who needs to wear a mask, it’s that one. If he was wearing a mask, he would have prevented Oakley hood of spreading his diseases all over the credit card terminal and the next person in line. 😂

It's interesting because that's my take too. I would think if you react to the vaccine by feeling flu like symptoms or ill then you'd be more likely to suffer effects if you were to get covid. But some people I've heard say that it's the opposite. That if you show side effects from the vaccine then that's your immune system doing its job. To me that doesn't make sense. I've had both jabs and didn't have any side effects. I rarely get ill because my immune system is pretty good and I'm a fit healthy individual. Surely there's a link there.

My wife has a heart Arythmia caused by an electrical issue in a part of her heart they cannot get to for catheter ablation without an extremely high risk of further damage and ultimately a pacemaker so yeah, I fully understand your concerns with the myocarditis. We factored that into our decision as well. Her being a teacher, it was a no brainer to get vaccinated. The risk of myocarditis is pretty small. We also don’t know why the 16-24 year olds age group has a higher number of reported cases yet. For all we know the myocarditis could be caused by an interaction with all the chemicals from the vaping they do. Funny how we shouldn’t vaccinate them because it’s dangerous, but we haven’t stopped selling them usb sticks to suck on.

June 11, 20215 yr I am sure booger said something insightful but I will continue to ignore. Went to wawaw today one person out of 5 had a mask and the employees had them but not wearing them properly
June 11, 20215 yr So 11.1% of people who died of coronavirus in Kentucky over the last 24 hours were vaccinated. Interesting.

I get bouts of ventricular tachycardia although it has improved quite a bit with medications (on both a beta blocker and ace inhibitor). There was some talk of doing an ablation but the medications have improved the VT so much that they're holding off. I maybe get one or two episodes a week now. A couple of years ago it was one or two episodes an hour. That really sucks that they can't do an ablation on your wife. I had a cath lab angiogram done two years ago that confirmed no blockages, so hopefully if I ever need to go that route it's an option for me. All the best to you and the Mrs!

She has SVT too which put her into Afib a few times. Almost needed shock paddles once before we figured it all out. She had a EP study done where they found one of the trouble spots but couldn’t do anything at the time because they weren’t prepared to even find anything like that in a 30 year old. Over the past 10 years or so she’s had 3 attempts at heat ablation. Initially seemed to provide some relief but came almost immediately back. Second attempt was the same and 3rd attempt they couldn’t get her into an arrhythmic state to map it. But they did find that the main spot is very close the main nerve that feeds the heart so if they damaged it that would mean a pacemaker. They even tried crossing over to the other aide of the heart during ablation which is risky to begin with. Ultimately the docs didn’t want to risk it. She’s on two medications to treat it. But she has palpitations constantly multiple times a day. She’s used to it now and the ablations at least did enough to prevent the 220 bpm and Afib. So we’re in a better spot but still frustrating for how young she is. The important thing we always remind ourselves is it’s not life threatening. There is a cryogenic ablation option but that’s so new they don’t know if it would do anything long term for her. They’re Always developing new tech and ideas so we’re hopeful that someone will eventually figure out a solution.

It sucks going through this stuff... especially in your 30's. I had an episode of VT last summer at 2am taking the dog out for a piss that turned into Afib. Drove myself to the hospital (they kinda frown upon that ) and they actually gave me cardioversion. I was hesitant before I knew they knocked you out for it, but it wasn't bad at all. I've had a couple more Afib episodes since then but I let them go and they eventually corrected themselves within an hour or so. My cardiologist has mentioned a pacemaker but said it's an absolute last resort because I'm young. My maternal grandmother has had a pacemaker for over 20 years now and my maternal grandfather passed away from cardiac arrest at 66... so genetics are not on my side.

She doesn’t have any history of any of this in her family. It’s so crazy. And it started while she was pregnant with our second. I don’t know if there’s any correlation to that. good luck with it all!
