Personal comments	My A-fib eppisodes do not seem to be as bad as a lot of stroies i have heard on the A-fib support group. I do know that i would like to have it cured. When i thought I was done with a-fib after the second ablation i was elated, and then when i started to have more eppisodes it was quite depressing.
