What ever became of any idea of how to prevent future clotting? Did you ever get any info from your doctor about it?
Hey Iso,
I have talked to my doc about it, quite a lot. I am due to come off the warfarin in about 5 weeks and I'm shitting myself about getting another clot as soon as I do come off it. This is a natural feeling apparantly so it's not just me being "me"!
Basically, there's not a lot I can do. The most likely reason for me getting the clots in the first place was that I was on the pill and obviously i'm not on it anymore so there shouldn't be a problem.
I have to be careful with flying, operations and pregnancy now and I am more at risk of getting clots than someone who's never had one before as I have had had them.
Surely even I can't be unlucky enough to get them again, though, right?!
Emma.
