first major health problem

I just got out of the hospital. I had pulmonary embolism. I am taking blood thinner Eliquis. I am now on the road to recovery. This is the first major health issue I ever had. It was my stay at a hospital ever. I am 52 years old.

Sorry to hear this gerbilgal and hope you’re on the mend now. Do you have CLL?

Given this site is exclusively for people affected by the blood cancer Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL), which interferes with platelet production as do treatments, our response to blood thinners may be very differently than yours. It makes general advice from our community members inadvisable, so you must consult your doctor about your circumstances.

In line with our posting guidelines, I am now turning off replies to this post.

Best wishes,

Neil
