About Me
I am 44 single with a 16 year old son. I am a paediatric nurse working in neonatal care. Very bad at being ill! Nurses make the worst patients is certainly true. Although was diagnosed 3 months ago I am having more physical symptoms now than I did then. Just reading some of the postings so far has answered far more questions than any other source. You all sound so positive Kate

That's very true, it's a bit of a mixed feeling. I'm relieved but also a teeny bit resentful. My haematologist was such a character today, he was so down to earth and cracking jokes How are you feeling now? xx

Hi Kate, so sorry for my late reply! I know what you mean - today is my PE anniversary...and i definately feel a little weird about it...i guess that's mostly because when i was lying in hospital a year ago - i never ever thought that i would be still worrying about PEs a year later! it's so rubbish how they totally consume every part of your life hey! apart from that - am doing ok thanks...going to see the respiratory consultant on wednesday, so will see what happens there! definately loving married life tho - although it is a little strange being called Mrs! How are you today??? good i hope! xxx

Hi I am 44 years old and a nurse in Neonatal unit. It came as a conplete shock to me to be diagnosed with extensive bilateral PE 11 weeks ago. I was not very unwell just short of breath. Treatment was with clexane injection followed by dailly warfarin as used in uk. I too have been surprised at the lack of information. Having felt minimal pain initially I was hit with it a couple of weeks ago and panicked a bit. Anyone else had this experience especially anyone with multiple PE Kate
