Pulmonary Embolism Support Group

By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.

I'm starting groups on facebook.com as well as MySpace.com for Pulmonary Embolism sufferers. There seem to be more people on those two sites, so look them up and join the groups if you wish!

Thank you for the info. I will have to check it out. Anyone tell you what cause your embolism? You look like a healthy young dude. Mine was from trauma and travel, legs are fine, no thrombosis, and I am active. My horse reared and turned and I went off, 2 weeks later, hospital... later

healthy young dude? thanks...i got my embolism from my trip to japan in may...it's speculated that i had dvt and didn't know it and they moved up to my lungs in june. my profile pic was taken a few weeks after i was in the hospital...it's funny (to me) 'cause people often forget that i'm "sick" because i still look "normal."

just type in Pulmonary Embolism Group under the group sub-heading and it should direct you to it. So far, there's three of us on it.

I'm the sole member of the Facebook group so far.

Okay I see JR, but nobody else. Is there another one? The one I see has a Japanese dude who started it and 6 members.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
