I was in the hospital 3 summers ago with multiple DVTs in both legs, and PEs in my lungs. I had a vena cava filter put in while in the hospital. I did about 10 days of lovenox at home. Fun stuff-not. Then it was about 3 weeks of adjusting the coumadin with in home nurse visits. Now, its once a month PT/INR draws. I stay in the 2s. Its a hard med to adjust, but my dose has been 3 mg for about a year. A lot of it has to do with what you eat, you should have been given a list of foods to either avoid, or be adjusted for. Top of the list are dark leafy green things.

Are you able to be active? Keep the blood moving will help cut the risk of more. Do you see a cardio, or vascular specialist?

And for goodness sake, BE CAREFUL!!!!
