I'm totally down in the dumps today. As one of th PE blogs stated, feels like I'm going through certain stages of grief--depression and anger for sure. Still having intermittent leg and chest pain and leg swelling. My hematologist suggested I meet with my GP (the one who misdiagnosed me). I don't know that I want to see my GP and would like to get a new one except that it seems pointl... -

Well to sum it up, the vertigo and dizziness finally passed after a couple weeks and I agree with the doc's conclusion that there was nothing sinister at play. I took a lot of sudafed to dry up the ears and haven't had any problems for several days.
Work has been very therapeutic and I've thrown myself into a couple projects. I finally joined a gym nearby (YMCA) and ... -

I thought it was just the after pregnancy symptoms, even though i didnt have that with my first child. Well when i went home, it started to hurt me more and got even more swollen, i... -

Firstly, thanks to everyone that has taken to the time to read what's on my mind. Even if you don't comment, I'm happy that you've considered me.
Lately I've been reading a lot. I've been reading a broad range of material, but mostly keep coming back to the writings of Deepak Chopra. His books have really enlightened me and helped me transform my views.&nb...2 Recommendations

Just found out yesterday that my second cousin on my mom's side has a dvt that broke up and sent clots into her lung. She is only 20 years old and on birth control pills. I think birth control pills are putting alot of people at a higher risk of dvts. -

I can hardly believe it has been way over a year and half since I wrote in my journal. Time flies when you are working fulltime, taking care of the kids, house, work and sleep. Well in December 2008, I was diagnosed with discoid lupus, the day my Mom passed away, July 16, 2008, I developed a rash that itched, big red patches, never went away, it took 3 months to diagnose it as lupus (... -

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Information
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It commonly affects the leg veins, such as the femoral vein or the popliteal vein or the deep veins of the pelvis. Occasionally the veins of the arm are affected (known as Paget-Schrötter disease). Thrombophlebitis is the more general class of pathologies of this kind.
