I used to lurk on this sub religiously last year so here is my little life update for those of you who are struggling today.
Do I still get PVCs? Sure, daily. Not nearly as many as I used to (or maybe I don’t feel them anymore?);
Funny how those things controlled everything for me for over a year. My diet, what I would and wouldn’t do, social life, work… I was nearly suicidal because of these fuckers, praying every day they would just disappear. They didn’t (of course) but eventually something switched in my brain. PVCs on a run? I ran faster. Coffee triggers PVCs? Well, tough shit, I like coffee so I will drink it anyways. Travelling? Yes, I will travel even if I get PVCs on the plane because what is the point of staying alive if I am this miserable. And eventually, I started noticing fewer and fewer PVCs and now I take notice of maybe a couple on a usual day. I still get ‚flares’ every now and then but they don’t cause me to spiral anymore… it is what it is. Coincidence? Perhaps. But it doesn’t really matter if I ‚cured’ myself or whether whatever was triggering my PVCs got resolved some other way (and believe me when I say I tried every weird thing I found on this sub). Mentally I can finally deal with them either way.
Obviously this is not medical advice, just my experience, but positive stories gave me some hope when I was in the trenches last year. It too shall pass, just be patient and kind to yourselves 🤍
