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
