Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
I’m on Xalerto once a day for a clot in my rIgbo leg, been 4 months. Does anyone think psyllium husk could be a problem? Heard it could cause dehydration which could lead to clotting.

While I'm not an expert, I don't personally think it would have caused it. I did drink plenty of water daily before I clotted, & continue to do so, but the reason for my clotting was never discovered, just one of those (unfortunate) things.

Dehydration could be a factor but not necessarily the direct cause. I think it’s a stretch. Sometimes some people clot and there’s not one identifiable cause or any There could be reasons for clotting that haven’t even been scientifically identified yet.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
