I'm so sorry to read about your serious problems in your journal.... do you have the original CT scan so they can compare the location of the first PE's to the most recent area? I'm praying that you take it easy with all those airplane flights and slow down a bit to let your body heal. God bless you and protect you....
Hug
Thank you for your support! I hope the insurance pains go away soon. ;-)

Close Pulmonary Embolism
An otherwise healthy 34-year-old woman, I had a pulmonary embolism in February 2008. I had multiple PEs in both lungs. I love my job, but it usually requires me to travel to developing world countries. Because of the limited access to health services in these places, I need to feel confident about my health to resume my normal life.
Treatments
- Heparin Working / Worked
- I had injections of Heparin during my hospital stay and also at home as an out-patient. I only stayed 4 days in the hospital. I learned how to inject myself so I can do it without the aid of nurses now.
