Blood Clots

[Guest guest]

,

They found blood clot in my leg a year ago October. I too had Lovinox

in the hospital for two days, then they would not let me go home until

I filled a prescription for 10 more days of it at home. (My Husband

loved giving me those injections, lol.) Anyway then I went on Cumiden

and have been on it every since. In the hospital the

Hemotologist/Oncologist said he would find out why I had the clots and

did test after test until the colonoscopy where my tumor was found.

When I was in the hospital for my resection, in February, they did

another ultrasound on my leg to see if the clot was gone, but found

another one. So I may never get off of this medicine. The problem with

it is, I can not eat salads, broccoli, actually anything green and

leafy. Anything with vitamin K, which is an anticoagulant. I have to

get my blood checked about every two weeks because my INR has not been

stable. I go from 1.6 to 4.0, just up and down. I get so frustrated,

because I really try my best to avoid all the no no's I'm not supposed

to have. I don't know if the lung clots require different treatment so

don't know if this little history will help. Hope so!!
