I think I was a wreck! I had been suffering with my “new” Pacemaker for over 7 months. No one had been able to help me. I was in a lot of pain and I was at my wits end. You calmed me down and gave me hope, and the best piece of advice you gave me was to stop sleeping on my left side! That was incredible! So simple and so obvious, but completely different and the opposite from what everyone else had told me. I followed ALL the advice and reassurance that you provided, and it helped enormously.” Mrs Butler, Pacemaker Patient, United Kingdom
