    • Hug

      From LauraLu August 14

      I'll see my doc on Weds for the results of my last thyroid scan - It's just a mess of nodules and cysts, and doc said 6 months ago it's funtioning normally....but I have ALL the classic hypothyroid symptoms. So I think I'll ask what else we can do besides watching for changes. My concern is how does taking synthetic hormones affect FVL patients on warfarin? Because I think either part or all of my thyroid is gonna have to come out.

      Thank you! I'm having a great summer! I am still doing Lovenox shots daily and have not had any more problems. Enjoy the rest of your summer too!

    • Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

      After two weeks of pain for what I thought was pulled muscle, I took myself to the ER and had two blood clots in my right leg (both in femoral vein). Three days in the hospital, and going on three weeks of home recovery. Took Lovenox, taking coumadin (still tweaking dosage). Docs are stumped by a healthy 23 y.o. female. Guess I'm trying to keep the bell curve going.

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      Had to tweak a lot, but after 1.5 month, holding steady and working well.
      Lovenox Working / Worked
      After 2 days of Lovenox and Coumadin, INR was 2.1
    • Close Eczema

      Had eczema since birth. tried lots of topical creams, nothing totally cleared it. Mostly outgrown it, but still some breakouts.

      Treatments

      Hydrocortisone Somewhat Helpful
      Never made it go away for good, just itching relief
      Elocon Working / Worked
      Works great, but takes pigment out of the treated area temporarily.
    • Open Down Syndrome

      My brother is 15 and has DS, the youngest of us three kids.

    • Open Fitness Goals

      Gained weight in the last two years due to my senior year of college and being off my feet due to DVT. I really want to get closer to my former weight (and clothes).

      Treatments

      Pilates Working / Worked
      LOVE them!
      Walking Working / Worked
      Started training for a halfmarathon but couldnt complete due to shin splints. My goal is to slowly build up to compete next year. I currently walk 3 mi3x weekly.
