blood clot treatment
Hey Ron,
I too have been away from this website. sorry folks. Just read about your issue with blood clotting.
Did your doctors consider injections of other meds instead of treating you with coumadin?
As a fellow AA patient, I thought we would not be prone to developing blood clots. Wrong!! There are other "clotting factors" that allow even us to develop this problem.
I had a deep vein thrombosis in my calf following a trip to Italy this summer.
The treatment plan was an injection for 3 months daily of "Enoxaparin"; it belongs to a different family of blood thinners than coumadin.
I sent you an email with more details.
Hope this is helpful.
