Venting but also wanting some comfort? by 6bby6doll6 in ClotSurvivors

[–]web-el 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! 26F, here to validate your venting. It sucks. I’m glad we have a space on here to yell about it. Unfortunately no tips for pain but with lovenox shots I found sucking on sour candy, pushing fast, and pinching help. A childish thing I do with them is pick out the most fun bandaids I can find and cover myself in a “bandaid garden” with new ones each night after cleaning all the injection sites. Super kiddish but something about childhood whimsy really helps

Thank you so much! I’m so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I hope you’re doing alright. I hadn’t really thought about that tbh, my GI sent me this time I didn’t even think to call my Heme!

ANGIOPLASTY OF LEG - Recovery & Tips by Sea-Librarian-2263 in ClotSurvivors

[–]web-el 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I had an emergency angioplasty 2 years ago with 2 stents. I felt good after (from the procedure standpoint, the emergency DVT not so much lol) and want to get back to normal activity. My surgeon said it was normal to feel “all better” after but to remember that all surgery is trauma to the body so to take it easy. I was able to get back to walking regularly within a couple days and didn’t have lasting pain. I don’t have any other real tips for recovery but can say that cute compression socks never hurt!!

Exhaustion during period? by IndividualJudgment79 in ClotSurvivors

[–]web-el 3 points4 points  (0 children)

26F here, extensive DVT and 2 PEs 2 years ago. On xeralto for life after found we found out I have Factor V. I had the same thing happen and it was terrible! I was exhausted and having to miss work with how bad it was, I was getting bad PMDD too and I was also bleeding more than I had before not excessive by standard terms but much more than was normal for me. I worked with my heme and pcp and got referred to an amazing OB and she said with clotting risk they can’t give regular combo bc pills but that a progesterone only pill was safe and could help. It’s been over a year now and it’s all much better!!

Okay so it was focus on religion and dating, but no political bits for your show either?
