- I'm getting really discouraged at how long this recovery is taking. Most of the time, I feel OK, but never 100 %.Mostly, I have continued SOB and I get exhausted doing the smallest thing. For instance, yesterday I was simply winded after helping my...
- OK, my internist and I decided that, regardless of the test results, due mostly to the fact that my PE were unprovoked and massive and that my dad died from a PE, I would be a lifer on Coumadins.However, both of us would like to rule out any other...
- I have my follow-up appointment with my internist tomorrow. I am soooo scared she will take me off Coumadins in order to run genetic testing! I'm only 4.5 months into recovery from, at least until now, unprovoked, massive, bi-lateral PEs.Everything...
- I"m just wondering if I'm the only one dealing with very rapid HR since my PE.I spent last night in the ER, with a heart monitor. I noticed that resting HR was consistently over 100, closer to 120 and that it would go way over 130, when I would sit...
- Okay, this clutz fell again on the ice, yesterday, on the same side as on Thursday. didn't hit my head, but landed on the exact same spot on my left hip.Last night, it was VERY swollen and hurt so much I could hardly move the leg. Woke this morning,...
- Last night was very cold after a small heat wave on Wednesday. The result: very, very icy sidewalks.I was going to the convenience store, and, sure enough fell and hit my head solidly. I was stunned for a while and a little confused for about 5/10...
- I had massive bilateral PEs in September with, as yet, no known cause. I still have a few tests to go through to rule out cancer, but am confident that I do not have cancer.I am a little confused as the internist at the hospital said I was likely to...
- Our office building has been under construction for over a year now and it now reached our locales. Specifically, the floor above ours is a construction zone and I have to access the floor to access my File Room.We have been provided with 2 big fans...
- What with this flu and the cold weather we're having here (I'm in Canada) I find it really hard to breathe. Furthermore I've been having the same types of pain as I had at diagnosis, just less intense. And the fatigue!!!I'm also wondering if the...
- While I'm sooo happy I no longer have to go for weekly controls (I'm sure my arms are thankful too LOL), I am a bit concerned as my INR has been fluctuating a bit in the past 2 months: from way down to 1.5 to 2.7. I am soooo scared of clotting...
- OK, this is really starting to worry me. Since June, I've now had 4 CT scans, multiple x-rays and an MRI.The scans were due to:- Car accident in June with pain in the neck. They scanned my whole back and neck;- Abdominal issue in September, that I...
- Just home from a really experience, again!!On Tuesday, my left arm, left leg and the left bottom of my face went numb, along with some loss of balance. I just spent 4 days in the hospital, where they tested me for a possible stroke or TIA. It turned...
- My multiple, bi-lateral PE diagnosis was 2 1/2 months ago. I've caught my kids' terrible chest cold.I now feel extremely dizzy and shaky, to the point that I almost fell after drinking a glass of water. Is this a normal reaction? My instinct is to...
- During and for the first 3 or 4 weeks after my PE, my BP was very low: around 100 or 110 and my heart rate was on the high side between 80 and 100. The BP then, slowly, climbed back to normal range and the heart right got down to between 70 and...
- since the PEs I've had a lot of numbness in my limbs. I try not to cross my legs, which is harder than it sounds!! However, last night I freaked a little: the whole back and sides of my head were numb. You know, like when you sleep on your arm and...
