You're heading about your day to day routine when you out of the blue feel an unusual squirming in your torso. You quickly recognize that it is your center, flopping around just like a fish out of normal water. What now ?? You probably panic! Perhaps you also experience dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath, or maybe you have no other symptoms by any means. But it's still very terrifying because...it's your center! This is how serious atrial fibrillation starts for many individuals, and those who develop it often have little to no prior medical history to talk about. After the demon a-fib has set in, though, we soon find our lives redirected down a dark uncharted way, our days consumed by vain attempts to divine the elusive origins of this mystical malady as we frantically seek a panacea that can give us again our "normal", or at least a way to weaken the grasp that unwelcome beast now is wearing our lives. Through everything, we placed on performances of an eternity for the rest of the world, acting as if all is well while coping as best we can with this invisible disorder...one that he who has never suffered through it cannot possibly understand. Try as we might, though, our lives and connections will surely conclude the worse for wear. Within this book is situated one man's personal profile of how this condition impacted his life, how he managed to overcome it, the valuable knowledge that was obtained on the way, and the permanent markings that the voyage has left on his subsequent existence. This medical autobiography is written within an casual first-person conversational style with accounts and information offered so that it ought to be easy for just about everybody to comprehend and relate to.
