- Apologies if this has been done, my memory is naff but I searched the first few pages and couldn't find anything.My animals helped me after having the clot and they've really been a lifeline in my recovery. I have 2 golden retrievers, Shaylee 11 and...
- I'm well known for being clumsy but I excelled myself 2 days ago. I knocked a cup of boiling water over my chest and tummy. The nurse at my surgery dressed it but later my gp phoned and said to go to A&E to see a plastic surgeon. They took my...
- Hi thereIt's been a while since I posted but I've been watching from the sidelines :-) Anyway I was diagnosed with low vit b12 so my gp started me on injections last tuesday. I'm meant to have 1 a week for 6 weeks but today my calf has been really...
- Hi thereI had a chest infection a couple of weeks ago and now I have a rotten ear infection. It's in the outer ear, I'm on a 2 week course of antibiotics and also have a spray. In the drs words "It's a heck of a mess in there" I'm taking ibuprofen...
- Well it's been 18 months since my saddle embolism so I thought I'd say hello again. I've been reading the boards but haven't posted as much as I used to. This place was and still is a godsend to me but the fear has finally subsided and I don't need...
- I have spent a few hours wondering if to post this link but it affected me deeply so I decided to. I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself recently, I have heart damage and can't do what I used to.. so on and so on. I've moaned because of the...
- Ok so I know we're meant to move around a fair bit to minimise risk of dvt but at the moment physical activity is almost impossible for me. I've been seeing an advert for a circulation booster and wondered if anyone else has used one? They are 200...
- I had a massive saddle clot last december and have been told more times than I care to mention just how lucky I am to be alive. After the initial high of actually surviving I started to realise recovery is the hard part. I am still constantly...
- I was diagnosed with this, my parents went to be tested today and my mum said she was told that it didn't have to have come from one of my parents. She couldn't remember exactly what they said but basically I could have developed the mutation...
- I had the nurse come to my home today as my gp wanted my blood pressure taken whilst lying and then standing. Lying down it was 138/60 standing up it dropped to 110/40 which she said is a large drop.I get very disorientated and dizzy, I'm waiting to...
- Hi allI tried looking through old posts but there's so many and I couldn't find a search button :-/I went to my gp a couple of weeks ago with a list of things including a rash on the top of my foot. He said it was where I was bleeding into the...
- I saw my gp today and gave him a list of ailments. I'm pretty much at the end of my tether so he's going all out with tests. My heart monitor showed some right ventricular? problem. He wasn't sure how significant it is so is asking a cardiologist to...
- Hi allI did my inr last tuesday and it was 2.7 so I was pleased.My leg has been hurting tonight so more out of curiosity than anything I checked my inr and it's 1.7. I know it's probably not a situation to panic in but would I be liable to get a...
- Well I saw my pulmonologist this morning and he has discharged me. He said it will take time to get back to where I was but there's nothing more they can do. I'm still under the haematologist for now but that's it.I started this journey in dec 08...
- After 6 weeks of knowing I was positive for something I finally found out today what caused my clot. I have prothrombin mutation factor 2. May as well be a foreign language to me! The haematologist said I was the first person to ever say to him that...
