Pulmonary embolism
I got diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism two weeks ago after my asthma had been bad, they initially thought it was a chest infection! Now on apixaban blood thinner, had a stomach bleed on Christmas Day, but ok now. How long does it take for a PE to resolve?

LVRS
I'm about to have lung volume reduction surgery later this month and would like any information/ peoples' experiences. Bit scared, but weirdly excited about it too.

Probable phlebitis
Hi everyone,I went to Minor Injuries today because last night I suddenly had a pain and redness on the outside of my ankle. The practitioner I saw said it looked like phlebitis, which is no problem for "normal" people but he wasn't sure about people with MPNs. He was great and I can go back any time,

Accelerated speed of discovery could lead to more effective smoking cessation aids.
Smoking claims the lives of more than seven million people each year. Smoking tobacco delivers nicotine to the neuroreceptors responsible for addiction, affecting the nervous system and causing addiction.A new study, led by scientists from the University of Bristol, into the molecular interactions involved

Side effects of Apixaban?
I used to take rivaroxaban 2mgs per day, but after a big op for hallus vegus and straightening claw toes I had a bleed behind my kneecap. Came off all anticoags until my knee/leg subsided; that took 3 months before it felt & looked normal again. Now I am just taking 5mgs of Apixaban daily. I notice that

ResearchResearch points to possible target to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF/
Long-held dogma says lung fibrosis in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF, results from recurrent injury to alveolar epithelium that is followed by dysregulated repair. Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham uproots that paradigm, and it suggests a possible treatment target

Jack Frost.
I remember years ago When Jack Frost was my friend Thinking back to days gone by Why did that friendship end? He always made me catch my breath When he suddenly appeared But soon I would be making steam With nothing to be feared Cosy nights by the fireside With a cup of tea Whilst Jack played around

How long did symptoms last after your DVT?
Hello everyone. I just had a iliofemural DVT and was put on enoxaparin for 2 weeks followed by rivaroxaban twice a day. There are no doubts that after these 3 weeks my symptoms vastly improved but i still have trouble getting back to my daily activities as my leg starts to hurt and swell after walking

Recovery after PE is more than possible
13.05.2016 (Friday the 13th) Diagnosed with Massive Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism approximately two weeks after getting big bruises on legs during a motorcycle accident (at that time I was not aware I had protein S deficiency that in combination with bruises triggered blood clots forming in my legs).
