- Hello everyone:Well, it's been over fourteen months since my PE/DVT back in November of 2013. Actually, I first noticed my left ankle swelling up three months prior, August of 2013. I can't believe I ignored that for so long, I'm a runner and just...
- Hello to everyone.It's been a little over 1 yr. since I was first diagnosed with bilateral PEs and two DVTs in my left leg. At first, it was so difficult to deal with and then I found this group. I have to admit that discovering this support...
- Hi everyone:It's been nine months since my clotting episode: two DVTs in my left leg and large PEs in each of my lungs. It turned out that I have Factor V Leiden I mutation. I was on Warfarin for about six months and was then taken off it in June....
- Hi everyone.It seems like the last seven months has gone by so fast. I'm feeling fine and was recently told by my hematologist to go off the Warfarin. Well, that was two weeks ago and I'm still taking it. He said that since all the tests are...
- Hello everyone. Has anyone here gone off of warfarin or other blood thinners even though they tested positive for a genetic clotting disorder? I have Factor V Leiden I, but my Hematologist believes that I will be better off without the blood...
- Well, I've been on this antibiotic for about seven days for a skin infection. I thought I would have my INR tested (was due to have it tested much later in the month) because of the antibiotic possibly messing up my INR. Today the Doctor called me...
- Hello everyone:I'm curious as to what everyone else has experienced in terms of post testing after diagnosis and treatment of you PEs? I was diagnosed in early November of 2013. My Hematologist first saw me while I was in the hospital. After two...
- Please see first post. Thank you.Indwen
- Hello everyone! Ok, as you may know, I had my PEs diagnosed in November of last year. Now, about 15 months prior to my developing blood clots, I developed this weird skin condition (started out as hives, then mutated into small/like holes in my...
- It's funny, but I never wagered a dollar on anything but horse racing. I've been handicapping and betting on horses since I was twelve years old. I'm fifty two now. Boy, I had my losing days and I've had my winning days, but no matter what, I...
- It's been close to four months since my diagnosis. I had some blood tests done this past week: D-dimer and other blood work. Everything came back Great!! That was a major hurdle for me. Actually, my Hematologist is thinking that I can possibly...
- Ok, There are foods with high vitamin K levels which can cause one's INR to drop leaving him or her vulnerable for clotting. Well, I enjoy eating Raisin Bran cereal in the morning, however, I know that raisins are a natural "blood thinner". My...
- Hello everyone: I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but since I've been on Warfarin, I have been experiencing different kinds of pains (joint pain, some muscle aches: elbow and lower back). Is anyone else here experiencing these types of...
- Last Friday morning I got up to get ready for work and I tripped over a box and fell right into my dresser. My chest hit the corner of the dresser and my big toe slammed into the base of the dresser. Needless to say, I was in a tremendous amount...
- New to this group. My problem started about 15 months ago. One night, I woke up itching the back of my thighs and there were welts all over my legs. This started my journey of horrible, non-relenting itching. The first dermatologist thought it...
