    • Close Pulmonary Embolism

      I am still recovering and have run out of people to talk to, everyone has moved on with their lives. I had a double PE and DVT the end of July.

      Treatments

      Heparin Working / Worked
      They used heparin in the hospital and it seemed to do the job, they kept watching to see if I needed the "clot buster" drug, but I didn't.
      Lovenox Working / Worked
      They did injections in the hospital and I was to go home with them, but at the last minute, they decided not to. I needed another injection a few weeks later when in the ER. At this time i am just on Coumadin.
      Coumadin Working / Worked
      On 4mg at this time I have been going a few times a week to get to a therapeutic level but I finally got a 2 week pass before my next blood test. At 2.0 right now.
