I recently was diagnosed with blood clot in my right lung that moved very quickly into the left chamber of my heart, not long after that diagnoses I woke up one morning to go to the bathroom and fell on the floor, I was unable to use my legs as they were full of blood clots and as large as tree trunks. Breathing became literally impossible by this time so back to the hospital I went. First thing I was given was intravenous diuretics (furosemide) to relieve the enormous, out of control swelling, otherwise my lungs were going to continue to fill up with fluid to the point of becoming deceased. Drowning in my own fluid or the possibility of the blood clots moving and making their way to my brain and killing me instantly. My doctor changed just about all of my medications. He made sure that I was given Eliquis 1:5 pills twice a day, religiously. There were other medications as well. The doctor says I am a walking miracle, he doesn't understand how I'm still alive especially after all I've been through with since 2009. I do, it's God's Grace and Mercy and Unconditional Love!! Sorry the text is so long. Best Wishes to you, Roberta
