Sorry to hear that you're not feeling too well today. If its any consolation its now 5 months since I came out of hospital and some days I feel good and other days I just sit about doing nothing! At least we're getting some GOOD days now - that's what we need to remember! Take care - love Sandie x

sorry to hear that you are not having such a good time at the moment...i can totally sympathise. I too, seem to have some good days, and many bad days, which is totally rubbish! i do hope you are feeling much better soon tho - stay strong x

Ugh I can soooo relate to this one!

I have had these momemts myself...I know it feels defeating but like like SandieG said, just remember were we came from.

We have to focus on the positive not the negitive( so hard for me to do anyway )

We have crossed over to feeling good more then bad and that really important to note in your mind, over and over again if you have to.

So sorry to hear your not feeling well!!! ... your body must be really tired. So try to take it easy. these days suck and make us grateful for the days we do feel good.

got my explanation for feeling crappy today. started hacking and sneezing, runny nose headache and a little fever.

i cant think of any other circumstance where im actually happy i have a damn cold...the other options are BLEGH.

Sounds like my Happiness when I realized I was having heart burn not chest pains! lol Victory for simple illnesses and side effects woohoo!

Oh that is GREAT news! Ha ha! Sorry you're getting a cold, but hey at least it's that and not the ol' mean case of PE.

My first day out of the hospital after my DVT and PE, I came down with severe bronchtitis. The doctor said it was not pneumonia but it sure felt like it. Drowning in phlemg and lung rattling coughing, it sure made my recovery hard. I just went back to work yesterday after 7 days in the hospitaltreating the DCT/PE and 11 days at home fighting brochitis. I am wiped.
One more work day to go and then its R&R all weekend!

I am right there with you, I have the flu and I just want to curl up in a ball and make the world go away. Did you see your doc? I went cause I had a fever and I was relived he found nothing else wrong. Take care of yourself.

The first time I sneezed after my PE - I think it was about two weeks later - was one of the happiest moments of my life. I hadn't been able to sneeze since the onset of symptoms because the pain was SO intense that it stopped my sneezes, cold.

just a quick update...

i feel a bit better today, just nursing my stupid cold along. thanks for the kind wishes everyone

Hope you feel better. I turned down a flu shot at my doctors. Does anybody think that I should get it? Never had one but with all my ailments I might need to ward the flue OFF???

Hi! I'm the new guy... If it's any help, while I was in the hospital just a few weeks ago with my PE they offered me a flu shot. I figured if anything was to go wrong, I couldn't possibly be any closer to the nearest ER than I was at that moment, so why not! Didn't have any problems at all! So if effects on your treatment are a concern, there is no need to worry.

glad you a feeling a little better - yes its funny that we are 'glad' when its something else.

cupcake, you made me laugh when you said about the heart burn - the other day I had a pain at the top of my back that was agonising and i got all scared - turns out I'd pulled a muscle in my back using a cheese slicer too agressively while making a sandwich!!

You guys are breathe of fresh air. I had my second clot go through my heart and go into my lung and then four days later I got pneumonia. It is almost a year and the fatigue is killing me from this coumadin. I am glad we can laugh becasue so many times I want to cry. I am 39 and feel like I am 90. Thank you all for making me laughit really helps. We have to stay strong and not let this keep us down.

You guys made my year.LOL thank you
