Blood clots

[amytug 996]

I've been to our crappy little er twice in the last week And also to my dr. All offered little help

"Pancreitis" said one dr. X-rays and bloodwork.

"Stomach bug, I'll give you these 2 medications for pain and stomach spasms" they did X-rays to look for a blockage. Bloodwork.

"You just need to let your sleeve heal, I'll give you a script, it's gerd"

Still, pain. New pain that's in my lower back. "Leak" I thought.

Came to the real er instead of the wannabe one and they immediately did bloodwork and a ct scan w contrast and Iv contrast.

I have blood clots in the veins that are in my intestines. Rare, especially for someone my age. So I'm in the hospital, about to start a heparin drip and I'll be here a while.

So much for saving money by going to Mexico, huh? I'm glad I'm finally getting taken care of.

Sure hoped I'd never have to post here.

Oh Amy, I'm so sorry!! I know it's scary and overwhelming right now. I had a blood clot in my brain after I had my last daughter. But the good news is, they found your clots and you will be just fine!! After my initial round of blood thinners, I did end up on aspirin daily because they found elevated clotting factors in my blood. But honestly, it's so much better to go through all of this and know, even if it does end up meaning aspirin daily (which it may or may not) instead of just falling over one day!!

I'm so sorry you're going though all of this, but so glad you pushed through for a 3rd, 4th, 5th opinion until they found out what was really going on!! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight!

So glad that you stuck to your guns. We know how own bodies better than anyone. I have two swollen areas on my left arm where my IV was and I had surgery on Feb 27. Went to family doctor and she did an ultrasound and found blood clots. Going to have to give myself 2 injections of Lovenox a day. They also gave me Cumiden. Just shows we are all so different you just never know but I was also glad I went to the doctor.

Hang in there, Amy. You were awesome, continuing to push back and get other opinions when the answers you were getting didn't make sense! Hopefully this will resolve quickly and you can get back to livin' life!
