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.
about recovering from a PE is the lack of energy to go shopping!!!
I love shopping but by the time i fit in housework, family stuff and my job i have no energy left to wander around the shops.
Hope i have enough energy this weekend - even just for a wee hour or so.
whats the most annoying bit for you?

My most annoying thing other then the lack of energy is the darn blood draws! I feel like a blood bank since being diagnosed. Since coming home from the hospital I'm going 1-2 times a week and it sure is hard lugging a baby and a 4yr old around everytime to the lab to get pricked and poked. Today lucky me got a student so both arms were poked because she couldn't get the vein the 1st time. (I really don't think they should let students poke inr check patients! - oh the bruises!)
