Hematologist calls me in

[Louise1026]

Okay, I posted for the 1st time a couple days ago that my neurologist believes after extensive testing that my dizziness has nothing to do with strokes last year or is in anyway brain related but probably anxiety caused. I had extensive blood work done and out of the blue the hematologist who had run many of the tests schedules an appointment for me this afternoon to come in. I was really surprised as I thought things were okay and am worried as hell. Wish me luck!

Wishing you luck. Try not to think the worst, even though I know that's easier said than done. Be sure to let us know how you're doing. Big hugs!

Hi guys, I am back. The hematologist said that the blood tests confirm that I have a propensity for blood clots, which is why I had the strokes. Basically, he said that the medicines I am on will take care of it or they will not and then I will get a stronger blood thinner. I was reviewing my notes from the neurologist and this is what he said except in a different way -- "you are doing everything you can to prevent a further stroke at this time" I guess it is the "or they will not" part that scares the crap out of me as I did not have any permanent damage from the first two other than some left side weakness that has gotten better with my doing PT every evening when I get home from work. I just don't want the or not part to happen! Thanks for letting me unload!
