I’m grateful to find your group. I’ve been RN over 30 years working in Interventional radiology(1/2022 largest thrombectomy), PACU, ER. Now that autopsies are discovering white fibrosis branching clots starting in 2020 during embalming wanted to educate myself. I follow UK information and I believe high possibility vaccine related
I had the type of clots in both lu ngs about 5 years ago. I'm was 64 yrs old and physically active. I felt extra short of breath after a work out . I drove myself to the hospital. I was so close to death that the doctor said to notify loved ones. 1:09:51 IiI am e
I got diagnosed with a dvt about a fortnight ago after my left leg swelled up and became painful when active. I have a clot and infection in my groin, where I used to inject heroin and have a sinus, which I think they are saying has got a bit of an infection. The antibiotics have helped me feel better in myself and I have three months of blood thinner tablets, with a low dose forever planned after the three months of higher dosage. I would like to know how long I might expect to have a swollen and painful leg as I can’t work with it, being a cleaner on my feet for eight hours a day. Can I exercise to speed up recovery or wil this be dangerous and maybe cause the clot to dislodge and travel to my lungs? I dont feel like I have many answers from my doctor.
How are you doing now?
Thank you all❣️
I made it through. I am not very obese but I have a wide waist circumference. I have slim arms and legs and narrow hips and always have had this boyish figure. I feel this had to do with the clots. I no
I am slim and eat healthy diets and sports a lot but got trombosis. I am 62 yrs old. Maybe genetics or protein S deffenciency. I live in NL.

1/ do you sit for long periods in front of a computer or travel sitting in a vehicle or plane?.
cutting off circulation to the point of feeling pins and needles when you get up ie
Legs: sitting on a floor, toilet, hard chair, floor layers wearing knee-pad protection too tight
2/ Hydration, do you drink enough?
3/ Eating 'blood thickening' foods like kale and leafy greens, high carbs and high sugar.
I have had venal thrombosis twice, (2017,2019) the ED cleared it with Clexane clotbuster i was prescribed Rivaroxaban daily for the rest of my life and didn't like the side effects of lethargy, blurred vision and body rash. so was changed to Pradaxa 150 mg the body rash cleared but remained on my ankles and lower legs. Rightly or wrongly, I have actively sought self management to get off the meds. but 3 years later i have had the painful swelling in my left calf muscle and lower leg. the above things i mentioned i attribute to it's return.
what did i do? i took pradaxa, drank, massaged, revised my diet. i was eating lots of walnuts and fruit smoothies, high in sugar, bananas are blood thickeners apparently. took regular computer breaks .
If the experts have any wisdom from their experience , I'd love to hear it. thankyou so much everyone who made this video for your wisdom and insights, there is still so much i need to know. Cynthia i wish you well in your quest too. lol i was often told i was a silly old clot.....now i know what they mean😉
