About Me
Just wanted to say Hellooooooo, and tell you a little bit about me! ...I love pink stuff and one day I'd really love to own a pink car! I got married on February 14th 2009...it was an amazing day and very pink, and very sparkly! :o) ~ I am soooooo grateful for this site...it has helped me to realise that I am not the only person in the world going through all of this, and I find comfort in the fact that I can just switch on the computer and talk to others in the same situation as me anytime, day or night! ~ 2008 will always be the year in which my life changed forever. ~ Coming to terms with a serious illness makes you evaluate life. You realise that we are not indestructible, that life really is too short, and can hang in the balance in the blink of an eye. You appreciate every single minute of the day, and you love the people close to you more than you ever have done before. You also realise what you really want to achieve in your lifetime and you will do anything to fulfil your dreams. ~ So many wonderful people have inspired me on my journey to recovery...I am so grateful for what I have and am now looking forward to the future! People say "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"...definately true I think!

Thanks
Hi Robyne, I'm doing okay. Thanks so much for asking. I was back in for my 4th CT scan a little over a week ago because my hematologist thought I had another PE. I think it was just the humidity causing me grief and turns out I was ok. :) How are you doing??
Hug

Support Groups
Close Pulmonary Embolism
Mutiple PE's in both lungs - diagnosed on 16th March 2008. Spent 8 days in the Coronary Care Unit and then another 4 days in hospital in May. Have been told that it was all caused by taking the Contraceptive Pill. I'm 23 and would love to hear from anyone in the same position! I'm having a really hard time coming to terms with it all - all the doctors have told me that I am very very lucky to be alive! Scary stuff!
Treatments
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- Just had my 29th blood test of the year and counting...boohoo! My INR is therepeutic now and am hoping it stays that way! Have been told that I will be on warfarin for eternity...boohoo!
- Heparin Working / Worked
- I had heprin injections in hospital and they seemed to work...but really hurt and was covered in bruises!
Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
My leg had been cramping on and off for over a year and a half before I was diagnosed with multiple PE's...I have been told that I was probably forming new clots each time! I just wish I had more awareness of the symptoms of a DVT so I knew what to look before - then maybe I wouldn't be in the position I am! It's all sooo confusing! :os
Treatments
- Coumadin Somewhat Helpful
Open Asthma
Type: Adult AsthmaDiagnosed with Asthma in January 2008. After suffering with PE's, doctors are now starting to wonder whether I actually do have asthma...confusing!!!

Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionThe events of 2008 have caused me to become "severely" depressed...hardly surprising I guess! I am currenly having Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - and am on anti depressants. It has been hard to accept that I am 'clinically' depressed - but now I have a diagnosis, I can work on my worries and anxieties and learn to accept, and love, the 'new me'...
Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- It is so hard to think positively when you are depressed - as much as I try too...I just can't - all of my thoughts are negative!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Remeron Not Working
- Had horrible side effects from it - after taking it for just one day!
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I know that I wouldn't be able to get through this without the continued support from my family and friends.
- Writing Working / Worked
- This has really helped me to monitor my progress - and understand what triggers my bad days.
