Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Tommie Yes I am on blood thinners - coumadin. I'm taking the lowest dose possible because of internal bleeding that shows up as black and blue marks. I have Factor V Lieden disorder. It's a rare genetic blood disorder. My older brother and a younger sister also have it. This is my second go around with a blood clot since August 2006.

We always love to see progress! Are you on blood thinners to keep it from returning? > Do they know what caused the clot to begin with? I hope I never get one. My mom use to get them, so I know I'm more prone to get them than some others. I do take baby aspirin everyday. > > My SSDI was approved back in 1997, it took me 9 months to get a hearing date and 2 yrs all together to get approved. I had appealed twice on my own, then got an attorney. He has handled 2 of my sisters cases too and working on the 3rd one. He is really good and gets them done faster than doing it on your own. I waited until I was at the hearing level to get an attorney. One of my sisters hired him after being turned down once, she was then approved within 3 wks. Didn't go past that. Another sister was approved in a short period of time too. Now the 3rd sister, she attained him after the first denial and I think her approval will be coming by the end of this month. It's taken 6 months on her. Not bad, better than 2 yrs. > > I will keep the number you posted below and give it to others as I come across them! > Hugs > -Tommie > > -Tommie > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
