Passive smoking
There has been a lot of discussion on here regarding nicotine etc. I just wanted to say that I am a big believer of 'each to their own'. However, people who smoke cigarettes, and e-cigarettes, rarely keep their smoke to themselves. As a life long NON-smoker with COPD, it does annoy me when people

What meds. are okay to take with Copd?

Is it normal for Doctors to tell you not to worry if you tell them you think you have an additional clot in a superficial vein?
While in the hospital last month with a DVT in arm, my leg started feeling like it was getting a clot. ( superficial vein.) The doctor said we are giving you Lovenox sub cutaneous injections. It's all we can do anyway, so it doesn't matter. Once released- about two days later- this bruise happened exactly
