I am sorry I did not get this and I am glad we got to talk this morning! I hope you are doing a little better!

I was having some bad chest pains this afternoon and laid down. I know it is the blood issue but one more day until the Hematologist so hopefully he will be able to help me!

I will call you when I am done tomorrow and let you know what he says! I have a strong feeling he is going to make me start the Lovenox shots again. Oh my poor stomach!!!! :(

Talk to you soon!

Hugs,

Onmyway

I bet the chest pains are so scary, especially after what you've gone through lately. Please call and let me know how the appt. goes.
I made an appt. for tues. th 10th at 10.45. I am going to try the bicillin shots and have a talk with the doctor about co-infections. Yikes i'm scared! lol But you know somethings got to give here...I feel terrible.

Hang in there and voice what you want! It is your body and he is your Dr! It will be fine. He does have your best interest at heart! Did you talk to Mary Jo??? She is very sweet!

I will call you tomorrow!

Hugs,

Hey Georgiagirl,

The appt went well! The Dr. is fantastic very smart. He said I could possibly be throwing off more small clots since i have been having an increased level of chest pains! He ran 26 vials of blood and tested for everything under the sun. All genetic blood disorders, blood clotting disorders and I am not sure what else! My INR is still very low and he said that when i am way to high of a risk to not treat with a more aggressive approach. I have to start the shots in my stomach again and he upped my Coumadin to 10mgs. I have to do this until I see him monday morning and he will re-run my INR. Then we will probably adjust it then. Hopefully it will go up and I will be able to stop the shots.

I have been dealing with a lot of shortness of breath and chest discomfort which was really concerning me. This is a very scary thing to have to deal with, especially after I read in Sports Illustrated about a woman athlete that just died from a Pulmonary Embolism. 

I will keep you updated! Thank you for cheking in with me.

Hugs,

Diane

Well it sounds like they are doing everything they can for. I'm so glad. That is very scary. I bet the shots in the stomach hurt. I hope you don't have to do that for very long.
I e-mailed MJ today. Maybe I will get to talk to her soon. I gave her my phone number if she wants to call me.
Keep me updated ok. Your in my prayers.
