My main worry is about getting more clots I think. It is unlikely according to all the medics but I have been having a lot of trouble with my medication and I'm currently at a high risk of getting more clots, hence the worry. My blood is clotting again and the original clot in my leg is still there so it's dangerous until the blood thins out. The docs have all been very quick to tell me what isn't wrong and what won't happen but they don't seem to be listening to my concerns over the situation in general.
I'm only 20, in the middle of uni and this thing has really shaken me up. I was sent away by a GP and an A&E department saying I just had a chest infection and it turned out to be several clots, pneumonia and then pleurisy. Rather a lot to deal with all at once at any age! The depression and inability to sleep has come afterwards but none of them seem to hear what I'm saying. I was scared by it all and I still am.
Anyway, I'll get off my soap box as well now I think! Thanks for your advice, it's nice to know that there are people out there who will listen.
