    Jesh, well, I hope to never be on it again. I could not imagine. Going to the doctor to check my levels was getting annoying. Luckily I was able to get weened off it and have not had any blood clots...so far.

    Well good luck to you. Unfortunately, I'm only 44 and will be on this and a slew of other drugs the rest of my life. All the result of the residual effects from chemo/radiation trtmnt. I had over twenty years ago. The bright side is 23 years later and I'm still here to talk about it, but it has been a long and (somewhat painful) journey. I went to law school and was admitted to the bar less then 3 weeks when I had my first stroke (ischemic). Total paralysis on the right side, couldn't speak either. Then, less than two years later, a hemmorrhagic stroke (artery blew in my brain - almost killed me). Then a 80% clog to the main artery in my heart, at which time they noticed that my heart valve was acting funky - had to be replaced. Then, chronic pneumonia, aspirating food into my lungs causing spikes in fever out of the blue (to this day, mind you). All the damage was considered the result of the radiation trtmt. But hey, like Morgan Freeman said in Shawshank Redemption "you either got to get busy living or get busy dying, it's up to you." I chose to keep moving forward!

    Wow, that is a lot to go through. I wish you all the best. I simply got a blood clot and it turned into the embolism. The Doc at the hospital said if I had waited a few more days. Well, I would not be here. But true, get busy living.
