Hug
Thanks for the hug!!!! I am doing well....had some stressful stuff go on with my family, but we all seem to be moving forward. Finally I have been theraputic the last few months, I've gotten to go out a month out at a time now, which is AWESOME. Trying not to focus on my health as much, let's just say I put my hope my health instead of my God, so I kind of restructed my thinking and quit talking about all the crappy things or how I felt and you know what it's been wonderful. How is your mom and dad and how are you doing these days? I need to read and catch up...thinking of you. Renee
Prayer
Prayers for your sweet mum and for your dad.

Close Pulmonary Embolism
woke up one morning in agony, I felt like I'd been shot! I was rushed to hospital and stayed for 13 days and will go back in again next week. I don't understand how or why this happened...
Treatments
- Coumadin Not Working
- (warfarin) Started taking warfarin in hospital but it affected my liver functions so Im waiting for them to improve, remaining on clexane for now, and will go back into hospital to re-try the warfarin
- Lovenox Working / Worked
- (called clexane in UK) is a bit daunting the first time you have to inject your self, but I feel proud that I managed to do it and am finding it ok.
Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
suffered from a pulmonary embolism 3 months ago which is a complication of DVT. although no DVT was found it is the same treatment and have been through similar fears as those in this community and find posts helpful here :) I would be happy to speak to any one who has questions about after care/treatment :)
Treatments
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- (called warfain in the UK) INR is now finally between 2 and 3 after more than three months!! get headaches and stuff but nothing major...
- Lovenox Working / Worked
- (called clexane in UK) was on this for first 6 weeks due to complications with warfarin. was ok and i didn't bruise too much
