Wow, you have had 6 PEs? Here I am thinking that my 2 PE's was alot. I too have the Filter as well. I am glad you shared your story to help others. Does anyone else in your family have it? My Grandfather died at 52 from a Blood Clot of the Heart and 3 of my relatives passed from SLE. My Cousin and her two daughters. Although they didn't have the Anticoagulant type of Lupus, they did have Lupus.View Thread
Your story is very amazing and interesting. I too have LupusAnticoagulant and was Officially diagnosed in 2008, however I was told I had it since I was a child. Constant Nose Bleeds growing up, I had Toximia with my first child and delivered him at 8 1/2 months and I went into pre-labor with my second child at 6 months and had to be on Bed Rest until I delivered him at 9 months. Both births were C-Sections. I got my first Pulmonary Embolism after my Partial Hysterectomy in 2002 and then got another PE 5 years later in 2007. After the second PE, they installed a Greenfield Filter in the Vena Cava vein for future ones. Unfortunately my Blood Work did not show that I had Lupus Anticoagulant until after 2002. I was very fortunate to deliver both of my sons but it was by the Mircales of God that they both made it. My Granfather died at age 52 from a Blood Clot in the Heart, and 3 of my relatives passed on from having SLE. I have been able to get a great nutrition product that keeps me going, energized, and has eliminated my depression. I hope to hear back from your future results. God Bless.View Thread
