- Today, I went to a friend's place.When it was time to leave, I couldn't find my keys.We looked all over her place.Finally, we went out to my car to see if I left them there.Yup. They were still in the ignition.She was leaning on my car as we were...
- I went for my first swim yesterday and I am so happy!The water was cold, but my lungs were working great.I could swim and swim!After my PE in December, I wasn't sure what that first swim would feel like.It was fabulous. I've been exercising on land,...
- I thought it would be so great to have my own Coaguchek.I got one 2 weeks ago.It is nice to know my INR.But...It is not as fabulous as I thought it would be...yet.I wish I had more control over my Coumadin dose.My INR shot up to 4.3 due to steroids....
- I am happy to report that I got my very own Coaguchek today!The trainer came to my house and had me practice with her.She was really patient and kind and I am happy to be able to do this at home.I recommend Tapestry if others want to try for a home...
- I'm just wondering who is working full-time after their PE and how are you feeling?My PE was in December and I didn't take much time off work. It was a small and I didn't think I needed much time for recovery.Now, 4 months out, I am sooooo...
- did anyone else feel better *after* their PE?Did anyone else feel better after going on coumadin?To be honest, I've been afraid to post in out of fear that you will all think I'm a bit nuts.However, I have been struggling with my health most of my...
- I know that many of you have had chest pain for a long time after your PE.And this has caused some un-fun hospital visits for some of us.Does your doc have an explanation for it?Some of you know that I just got out of the hospital.I have been...
- hey y'all.my chest pains on my L side (where i had my pe in december) and my fatigue were getting worse.i'm not the type to complain or make a big deal about things.but my friends made me call my doc.i called this morning.my doc said i had to go to...
- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/health/research/30heart.html?_r=1&hpThis is an interesting article from the New York Times.It suggests that at least one doctor out there is using statins (usually used to treat high cholesterol) to treat patients...
- Has anyone had their migraines improve while on coumadin?Before I was on coumadin, my migraines were disabling.I had to be treated in the hospital by IV 10 times in 2008 for intractable migraines.I was in a downward spiral with my migraines prior to...
- I was hospitalized on Dec 10 with my latest PE (my 1st PE was in 2005).It was a small one and I bounced back really quickly.I was back to working full-time, exercising, and everything after 2-3 weeks.Now, 3.5 months out, I am soooo tired and the...
- Some people may find this freaky, but I like seeing a visual depiction of the pathway of a PE. Thought I'd share...http://www.doereport.com/generateexhibit.php?ID=13959&ExhibitKeywordsRaw=&TL=4294967295&A=
- This was mentioned on another discussion and I thought perhaps it warranted a discussion of its own...Before both of my PEs, I had this dreadful feeling of doom for a least a month but maybe 2 or 3 months. Before each PE (4 years apart), I was...
- I have had 2 PEs.My first was in January 2005.It was massive and bi-lateral.I was on BC pills.My hematologist found a clotting disorder: prothrombin gene mutation (also called Factor II).Nonetheless, she took me off coumadin.I had a second PE...
- I think I fear a car accident more than another PE.This morning, I was almost rear-ended. The person behind me had to slam on her brakes and swerve not to hit me.I was only sitting there with my turn signal on, trying to turn into my neighborhood.I...
