I was born with a leaky heart valve that gradually got worse and eventually caused A-fib. I had the valve replaced, but A-fib persisted. Eventually it was controlled by a rather expensive medicine Tikosyn, which controlled the a-fib, but eventually caused my heart rate to slow to dangerous levels, and the medicine had to be stopped, unfortunately just after I had purchased a three month supply for around $700.

The purpose of this post is to offer to give my supply to anyone who uses Tikosin. I don't want money. But I would need evidence that the recipient has been prescribed the medicine by a doctor. i had to spend three days in the hospital while the dosage was adjusted and I don't want anyone to use the stuff who is not under a doctor's care.

The Tikosin has been sitting on top of my refrigerator for a year because I can't stand the idea of just throwing $700 away if anyone can legitimately use the stuff.

BTW I walked between Springer and Katahdin a couple of decades ago with the leaky valve and insipient A-fib at age 64, though slowly. I was the slowest person going up hills, but generally caught up on the downs, so we tended to end up at the same shelter each afternoon. I now have a pacemaker implanted in my chest, which along with medicines keeps a-fib away most of the time.

Now if rhey would just develop a cure for old age.
