- I saw my cardiologist today for a follow-up visit from my first visit in May. He's a super-nice guy who answers queations and gives details and spent around 30 minutes with me. Said things look great, I'm doing really well, don't seem to have any...
- Hello ... I usually hang out on some other groups on Daily Strength, but had a question for y'all after my visit to the OB/GYN today.I have a large fibroid in an odd place in my uterus. Just in the last two months have been having (minor) cramping...
- An article on CNN about what we've all discovered: sometimes you have to be a "bad" patient to take care of yourself.http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/09/30/bad.patient.save.life/index.html?hpt=Sbin
- My husband and I recently applied for long-term care insurance. They accepted him, but turned me down based on my asthma and history of depression and anxiety. Really, the depression disappeared a while ago and the anxiety is pretty recent (since...
- Hi, poking around today and found your forum. (I usually hang out on the DVT, PE, and blood clot boards.) Here's the situation...My husband just turned 40. He's been having pain in his right big toe for several years now. The surgeon he saw thought...
- I have to say that my life for the last year has pretty much sucked. Usually fall and winter are my favorite seasons. My birthday, the holidays, the cool weather, the snow ... Colorado is beautiful in the winter!The last 12 months were not so great....
- I'm wondering if anyone has noticed a corrolation between their DVTs and the development of varicose veins in their legs. I've had two DVTs in my right leg and have a few veins you can see on the surface of the leg. I actually have way more veins...
- So, I saw the pulmonologist today and we went over all the testing he has done on my lungs over the last few months. Basically, he said that as far as he can tell the PEs have had no adverse affects on my lungs, heart, or circulation ... this is all...
- Looks like Zsa Zsa has joined the blood clot family:http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/08/14/zsa.zsa.gabor.hospitalized/index.html?hpt=T2I'd be curious to know what kind of "surgery" she had to fix the clot. If anyone has more...
- Considering how ridiculously expensive Lovenox is, this article (posted yesterday) about the (possible) coming of generic Lovenox is really interesting. I also got a clue *why* Lovenox is so expensive. It would be great to have an affordable,...
- Anyone ever seen a dietitian/nutritionist for help with a warfarin diet? I've had a hard time stabilizing my INR and I've finally tested at 2.0 two weeks in a row. The problem? I'm eating no green veggies at all! It doesn't seem like a good idea to...
- Today is the six-month anniversary of the day I went into the hospital with my PEs. So much has changed in the last six months and yet stayed the same.The biggest thing is that I'm now a warfarin lifer. My original standing order, FMLA leave, and...
- My husband in turning 40 in a month and I am drawing a blank as to what to get him. He's a little grumpy about this birthday and unfortunately we'll be with family out-of-state on the actual day; he doesn't like feeling like the center of attention...
- This was posted on the PE group by CivilizedRedneck, and I thought some folks here might be interested too...***Warning*** Anti-Clotting Drug Coumadin Recall http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38209834
- So, I'm wondering if any of you use some dependable birth control methods that don't involve hormones or IUDs. Like a lot of us, my DVTs were blamed on BC pills (both regular and progesterin-only) so I'm not using anything hormonal again. I've also...
