- I've found the leg in which I had my DVT (nearly 9 months ago, femoral vein pelvis to ankle) really aches when the weather is hot. Is this normal? Anything I can do? The only thing that doesn't hurt is sitting around with my leg raised, and...
- I'm booked for a ductal plug in August and wonder what people's experience has been? The ophthalmologist said at best they would allow me to use gel and drops every few hours instead of several times an hour. But at $100 per plug I want to know...
- A friend with a history of dry eyes had the plugs, and now has special contact lenses that have helped her eyes enormously.Anybody know about these?
- I'm now off coumadin, without explanation, but with the blessing of the senior hematologist at the hospital. I'll be wearing compression stockings forever, but wonder when I'll be able to fly safely? The doppler ultrasound showed marked improvement...
- From what I understood in conversation with my GP's nurse, I am going off coumadin because my INR has been low the last three times?I'm confused!
- I have my 6-month doppler ultrasound and the report said \"marked improvement\" but there was still some ulresolved clot from the original DVT which was the entire length of my femoral vein. At that time my GP said we\'d do another doppler in 3...
- I've been avoiding fish oil because I was told it was contraindicated while I was on coumadin. I've seen other people on this list talk about taking it, so I assume it must be safe in some circumstances.When I spoke to the pharmacist he wasn't...
- I asked my GP if I should have a Factor 8 test and she said that because my DVT was the result of a long time in bed after surgery, I probably didn\'t need it.Thoughts?Now I want to know what those 19 vials of blood were they drew one morning in the...
- I found this group tonight and I am so glad! I've been reading all the posts trying to get some information that will help me with my gritty eyes. I can't take fish oil capsules because I am on blood thinners as a result of a deep vein thrombosis...
- I\'ve been pretty relaxed about my DVT for the last several weeks, and now that I\'ve had my ultrasound and found out it hasn\'t entirely resolved, and that the clot I thought was in my calf was really in my ENTIRE femoral vein from pelvic to lower...
- Having had disappointing results from today\'s doppler ultrasound, I wonder when I should have another one?This is the one that was supposed to allow me to discontinue coumadin at the end of the month, and is the first I\'ve had since the diagnostic...
- I had a doppler ultrasound in anticipation of going off coumadin at the end of April. The tech told me she saw "bits and pieces" of the clot still there. She also told me the original clot had been big, from high in my pelvis all the way down my...
- I may have asked this question before...DVT and brain surgery and Middle Aged Memory are a bad combination.My dry eyes have only been an issue since my post-surgery, which is coincidentally as long as I've been on warfarin.By evening, or earlier, y...
- I know this is a stupid question given your distance from me and my leg, but here it is:when I removed my support stocking last night there was a visible indentation when the top band had been. This is new because I've worn the support stocking...
- I'm re-sending this question from an earlier thread about tetracycline:I'd be very interested to know if coumadin exacerbates, or can bring on, ocular rosacea. My rosacea has been very minor for years, controlled with very infrequent metro cream,...
