- And I'm not sure how to cope with that. About every 3 months since I was diagnosed in August 2013 I experience SOB issues and my mind immediately assumes blood clot. That was even while on coumadin. I've been off since June and have had a couple of...
- Gets the imagination turning.I'm now 2 months off coumadin and two days away from my 1 year clot-iversary. And it's been a rough two months, anxiety wise. I started out ok, but then got progressively more anxious the further out from having stopped...
- I find this happens to me often which fuels my brains idea that something actually really is wrong "this time". I'll suddenly become aware of my heart racing, or feeling off in some way. It was there for a bit, but now I'm aware of it, then cue the...
- Have you worn them for prevention? How do they work, exactly? Is it that they increase blood flow to the calves?
- I've been off my coumadin for 4 weeks now. I had been on it for 10 months following two PEs. My main symptom when they were discovered was difficulty breathing. A shortness, heaviness, need to yawn and get more air in type of sensation. Since last...
- I was on it for 10 months, and was given the go ahead to come off of it about four weeks ago. It's so surprising to me how far I've come in those 10 months. When this first happened and I was put on blood thinners I thought for sure I'd want to be...
- My legs look awful. I'm covered in small bruises. My bruise ratio has gone up over the last few months due to lifting a lot more at the gym and just having kids crawl all over me at home. It's really unattractive and makes me feel self conscious....
- I tend to pop in here when I'm an anxiety slump to remind myself that this is all normal. I think recovering from the anxiety is almost harder than the physical recovery. It's not *always* there, but sometimes it will ramp up to a fever pitch before...
- I was curious what others experience has been and what your doctors have said about length of being on blood thinners. My PEs were in August 2014 and I was told I'd be on warfarin for at least 9-12 mo. I didn't think anything of that until reading...
- I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. I get this weird irritation in the area where my esophagus meets my stomach, but it isn't heartburn sensations. It almost feels like a tiny bubble or something is just sitting there. It can feel...
- How has warafrin affected your periods? I'm starting to feel like I'm going to get my first postpartum period. I've been on warfarin since August and I'm kind of anxious as to what to expect. Has it made your periods heavier? Longer? The same?
- I'm going to do some part-time seasonal work that will require me standing for long periods of time. Anyone know if this can create DVT/PE issues? I am on warfarin. Tips? Advice? Personal anecdotes?
- I'm not sure what I'm looking for with this - support or advice. I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the last two weeks after feeling mostly okay since the end of December. It's causing me a tremendous amount of anxiety because it feels...
- I was diagnosed with h. pylori. I was put on 20mg of prilosec twice daily as well as two antibiotics. Since then I've been getting this weird sensation in my hands and arms. Its like a stiff tingly sensation. I did some googling and found that seems...
- Prior to my PE and DVT I was running, lifting, and eating well. I had a co-issue with my PE/DVT (CMV - acute viral liver issue) which caused my appetite to tank, then my SoB caused it tank further and then anxiety even more so. Basically my diet...
