Oh yes I felt it kick in you just very heightened I am so sorry I hadn't seen your message! Forgive me please! I need to come here more. Yeah I had a few pacemakers I threw them away. I should have saved one, they are so tiny. I have heard they put them in babies. Its so amazing life, and science. I would not be here today if it wasn't for Science. You are very normal feeling it kick in! If you feel light headed always be by a chair. I use to faint a lot. I slide down the wall, bop! Then I would get extremely chilled. I hope you are doing okay Annie

They just say there is nothing else they can do with the settings to make me feel things differently. At least everything checks out and seem to be fine otherwise. I hope you are doing well and have a good day! :)
