I get blood clots
Since 2007 I have been getting blood clots. I was diagnosed with protein s deficiency. Blood clots are technically called deep vein thrombosis. You can see why I stick with the term, "blood clots".
I have had three pulmonary embolism since then. That is the result of a blood clot traveling through the vein and getting caught in the lung. It's extremely painful, extremely deadly and you have to stay still for quite a while. The worse part, I think is when I have to take Lovenox injections. I have to inject the Lovenox in my stomach for fourteen days, twice a day. My stomach usually ends up black and blue like I've been beat with a whip. Trust me, not fun. I don't really know how common or rare my condition is so I decided to write this to see if there were other people like me on here. I don't know, maybe raise awareness of a condition that has changed my life. I am on Warfarin Sodium and so I have to be careful what I eat. Everything changed.
This is my first blog, thanks for taking the time to read it. Blessings to you and yours.
That doesn't sound like a fun experience at all. I hope you find a way to recover soon. Keep on trucking brother. Transferring love to you through the internet :)
