- Hey everyone. Haven't been on here in a while since I've been busy with work. Today I was working and it was a lot of twisting of my upper body and tonight, the spot where I had my pe over two years ago is sore. It aches if I move certain ways. Is...
- I'm going away for training for my company to Dallas which is pretty far from home. I worry about going and being alone in a hotel room in case anything would happen. My anxiety has been extremely high lately. Anyone have any advice for when I go on...
- I go too the rheumatologist tomorrow to see what classification of nephritis I have. I assume it's either 3 or 4. Does anyone have nephritis? If so, what stage and what's the treatment? So far I take 3000mg cellcept daily.
- I went off warfarin for a few days to get a kidney biopsy and now I've got some new sharp pain in my lung. The thing is, it's at the site of the old clot. Has anyone had new clots go to the same spot as the old clot? I'm back on lovenox and warfarin...
- I'm bridging off coumadin with lovenox 40 mg but only once a day. I thought lovenox lasted only 12 hours. Is this still going to protect me from clotting?
- I started taking cellcept last week and have now moved from 1000-2000 mg a day. Does anyone have heightened anxiety, dizziness, nausea, or extreme fatigue with this medicine? Also, I see a lot of warnings for brain infection on this medication; how...
- I was recently diagnosed with nephritis and I have to get a biopsy. I worry a lot about medical issues mostly due to the aps I have also. Can one live a normal life span with nephritis? They aren't sure of what stage but my only symptom is...
- If I'm on warfarin and happen to get another pe, would the warfarin that I'm taking begin to dissolve the clot? Also, if it does, how would a d-dimer be accurate? They still test my d-dimer from time to time, especially when I go in with new pains....
- My pe was discovered because of a severe pain in my side and severe shortness of breath with extreme exercise. My question is, without the pain and the exercise, does pe shortness of breath come and go? Mine has came and went every day for about a...
- Lately I've been short of breath and a pulse ox reading between 94-98. Not all mine stays around 98. This adds fuel to anxiety and I was wondering if anxiety and breathing fun can cause low pulse ox an also if humidity can contribute to it being low...
- My blood was at 22.9 seconds today and that's all i got. No INR number or anything as of yet. Can anyone calculate that? I'm worried it's low like it has been for the past two months. I've got some pain in my legs and i would like to be reassured...
- I saw about 150 yards today and afterwards was pretty short of breath and really dizzy. I'm really out of shape but I can't tell of that's it or if it's my heart. I've had two ekgs since my pe and they said my heart was fine. All of my doctors seem...
- Has anyone ever had their dose of warfarin increased only to find their INR drop? I've been 1.6 for about 5 weeks now and i did jump to 1.7 but my dose was raised and it dropped back down to 1.6. The ONLY thing that's changed is my activity level. I...
- I know there isn't a certain way to tell if it's new clots for not without an ultra sound but my inr dropped twice to 1.6 the past few weeks and I've had new pain in my lung and also leg pain in one of my legs. I can't keep visiting the hospital for...
- I'm about to start a new job loading heavy pieces of furniture into trucks as well as resume my summer job working in a school doing cleaning. Is lifting ok while taking warfarin?
