about two years ago I went to the ER, thinking I was having a heart attack; they took pictures of my chest via CT scan (I think) and saw that my heart was ok, but saw some PE clots. They also saw something towards the bottom on the picture, so they sent me back in for some more CTs. Found out my gall bladder was AFU. Had my gall bladder not cause me to go to the ER......yikes. Don't even want to think about that.
So basically, my gall bladder going tits up and needing to come out, caused me to go to the ER where they discovered clots. I had the gall bladder taken out, though they wanted me to wait, get on thinners, then come back in a few months to get the gall bladder out. F that. I told there was no way i could wait. So they put me on some super potent thinners for a day or so in the PCU, then put in an IVC filter, then took out the gall bladder. Just had the IVC taken out about a month or so ago.....they removed it via going in through my jugular! I was not expecting that; thought that they would remove it the same way that it went in - down by my groin/scrote. Been on blood thinners ever since, though recently got my dosage cut in half. And, because I lost my insurance for a while, I was off of them for about a year. They toook blood every hour for about 36 hours while I was in the PCU and the blood work results showed I have a genetic mutation in my genes that makes me prone to clotting. In fact, I had 2 bouts of superficial something-thrombosis (can't remember the exact term obviously...but they weren't the DVT type clost) back in November and then December. My calf was sore, and I had a big red line going up my leg where some veins were. Had to get an ultrasound after each incident and each time they found a cluster of clots. So, this caused me to re-visit the blood doc and I'm back on the thinners again and to get the IVC taken out. Should've been on them the entire time, but I made the mistake of thinking "nah...I'm good. i don't need them" when I went without insurance for a bit then was delinquent in getting back on them. Turns out I was wrong. I''ll basically be on them the rest of my life.
