It hasn't directly interfered with running as the condition is controlled by meds, (despite the docs on here telling me to go for ablation treatment, which I think I will do this year;)). Keep running unless your docs tell you not to and keep monitoring it to make sure you spot any changes. Good luck

Unfortunately the hospital lost my antibiotics when I was there and couldn't issue me more so I've been trying to get through to my GP....easier said than done...to get some prescribed again! As soon as I'm fit enough the chicken legs are out and I can run again.

Pricey, that's good to hear. Am itching to get out running, will see what the GP says tomorrow morning.
