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.

Oddly enough, though, my multiple bilateral PEs (my most severe clotting episode) came at a time when I had been sleeping like a normal person for over eight months. Weird.
No easy answers, I guess...
