- Hi everyone,Realized it is my 2 year anniversary today! I don't think often about my PE. Even though I never knew why it happened, I'm at ease about it. But still have decisions to make about blood thinners. I'm still on them, and will revisit with...
- Hi All,I'm 2 months out from breast cancer surgery, and am still off of Warfarin, but currently on once a day Lovenox shots. I had some complications with Warfarin interacting with at least one of the meds they put me on after surgery. I was in...
- Hi All,Its been a while since I've posted. I'll be on a new type of medical journey, one to fight some breast cancer. I hope not to make anyone anxious here about cancer as I don't believe my PE originated from it. On the contrary, my PE experience...
- Yesterday was my 1 year clotiversary. Its funny, a few weeks back I thought alot about it and knew I would share that I made it on the 26th. But I realized this morning my anniversary came and went, and I'm a day late posting. I guess that is a...
- I received a message that March is blood clot awareness month. It is also the month I had my PE in 2013. I was made "aware" of blood clots literally in March of last year. Not the kind of awareness I wanted. But in any case, check out...
- Sorry its been a while since I've posted. I've been trying to figure out some lingering issues since my PE in March of 2013, like SOB (from heart or lungs - docs aren't sure yet (or something else?)). I've hopefully just had my last tests for...
- Hi!Does anyone know if we can drink some grapefruit juice being on warfarin? A small glass? Or should it be avoided all together.Thank you.
- On Saturday night, I woke up to severe chest pain at around 10:30 p.m. I tried to sit up and instantly felt I was going to pass out. It didn't feel exactly how my PE felt back in March, the pain was more central, not to the right where my PE was,...
- Does anyone know what common vitamins are ok to take. I stopped taking multivitmains when I had started warfarin. But I assume I can still take Vit. C, Vit D, etc. I want to start taking some vitiamins that would be beneficial. Thanks!
- Does anyone know if the heart itself can cause a blood clot? My cardiologist wants to take a closer look at my heart to see if there are any clots in there or cause of clots. My anxiety is up a bit about my heart at the moment as an echo...
- I was out for dinner and wanted to order a drink, a cosmo, and realized it has cranberry juice in it so I opted not to have it and just got a glass of wine. Not sure how much cranberry juice is in it, maybe not that much, but is that ok to have...
- I was recently in my pulmonologists office having a few lung function tests done that went very well, so I'm happy about that and I noticed a good quote posted on the wall:"Worry won't take away tomorrow's troubles, but it will take away today's...
- Hi All, Been a while since I've chimed in so wanted to update you on my 6mo appts. I did see my Pulmonologist and Hemotologist. Got the all clear with a CT scan of the lung, no more clot and no lung damage. (Although my breathing isn't quite the...
- All you runners out there, have you felt over time, your lung function is improving or just staying the same. I'm a little over 4 mo out and I still feel my lung capacity isn't wonderful but its ok. I can run which I am very grateful for, but my...
- I realize many of you are taking anxiety meds, and maybe only for the short term. So far my doc doesn't think I need them cause I can still workout and get endorfins, etc. that way. I was in agreement for a while, but have lately been having a...
