TD Five Boro Bike Tour 🚴🏼 I was very fortunate to ride in my second Five Boro Bike Tour in NYC this weekend with Team @stoptheclot 😁 Our team had riders from New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, North Carolina, and of course Illinois! There were over 33,000 cyclists, from different states and countries, that came together for the world’s largest bike ride. ☔️ It was 50 degrees and started raining about half way in. To make things worse, I completely forgot to charge the shifters on my bike (first world problems, I know lol) which I didn’t figure out until I tried to shift.🤦🏽♀️ For those who know what this means, I was stuck in a higher gear the entire 40 mile ride of 1,234ft elevation…. Including the Verrazzano bridge at the end. 🌉 But! I beat my time from last year and met some amazing people with inspiring stories 🩸 Thank you to my husband and family 😊 and to everyone who donated! Special thank you to @heightscycle for hosting my fundraising ride every year 🙌🏼 Recovery from a blood clot is slow and steady. If you have any questions about them please feel free to reach out and I can guide you to the appropriate resources. 🗽 🚴🏼 #bloodclotsurvivor #pulmonaryembolism #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #bloodclotawareness #bloodclotrecovery #bikenyc #bikeny #whosyourpt #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist
#deepveinthrombosis (DVT) involves the formation of blood clots in deep veins. Utilizing ultrasound scans and assessing risk factors, vascular surgeons identify the presence of clots. To treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT), two main approaches are used. Our vascular surgeons may prescribe blood-thinning medications to prevent and dissolve clots. Alternatively, for extensive DVT, a minimally invasive procedure called thrombolysis involves using mechanical devices and specific drugs to dissolve clots.

In cases where the #DeepVeinThrombosis is widespread, such as extending to the thigh and pelvic veins, a combination of mechanical devices and specific medications may be required to dissolve the blood clots. This procedure, known as thrombolysis, is typically performed within two weeks of the DVT diagnosis and is minimally invasive. Thrombolysis is used as a preventative measure against potential long-term complications of DVT, such as Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) and venous ulcers in the limbs. Additional treatments may involve the placement of stents to maintain the openness of compressed veins. At the Vascular and Interventional Centre, we are committed to the continuous advancement to diagnose and treat vascular conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis.

My God is so good!!! (long testimony post) Awareness for #blackmaternalweek #bloodclotawareness In the beginning of my pregnancy, I had a horrible pain in my left calf. I thought I had pulled a muscle from a morning run, so I treated it as if it was a muscle tear, took pain pills, soaked it, elevated it, and went on with my daily life. The pain continued so I decided to go get my leg checked out. When I went to urgent care, they sent me home and advised me to continue taking painkillers, ice, and elevating my leg. After a few days, I could barely walk on that leg, and I needed a cane! This time I went to Patients First, where I saw a black woman doctor. As soon as I revealed my symptoms to her, she immediately sent me to the emergency room, where Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) was diagnosed and I was admitted to the hospital. As a result, I learned I would have to take shots twice a day for the rest of the pregnancy and for a few months afterward to treat the DVT. Since the baby was still in the womb, I could not take pills orally. Also, I would need to see a hematologist frequently (another doctor to see) Terrifying! Often, the shot left me with painful bruises on my sides. Even though I didn’t want to do it many days, the doctors kept reminding me that blood clots tcan travel and lead to death. Thanks to God, months later, I’m still here with a healthy baby boy! Thankful to the doctor that sent me to the ER immediately; it could’ve been worse! After being diagnosed with a DVT I started becoming more knowledgeable about blood clots; you never expect it to happen to you, and I start getting teary eyed every time I learn about the risk of the blood clot traveling and how many people have not survived blood clots. God’s mercy touches my heart every day, and advocating for yourself can’t be stressed enough! #blackmaternalhealth #bloodclotrecovery #dvtsurvivor #advocacy #bloodclotawareness @stoptheclot thank you for highlighting my story during #blackmaternalhealthweek

Honestly I’m so grateful for all the love I’ve gotten 💓 When I first posted about my pulmonary embolism I took a lot for me to speak about it , I hid it away for 3 years without speaking a word of it and to finally open up about it and have everyone sending so much support and love is heartwarming. 💓 I’m so proud of myself for finally speaking about it and not hiding it , I’m still scared for my life as the doctors say it will happen again and if it does there’s a high chance I won’t survive another one and that’s why I wanted to bring more awareness to this condition. 💓 I’m not trying to scare anyone or stay don’t take the pill , I’m just saying please be careful , read the fine print and if you feel uncomfortable or something doesn’t feel right , don’t put it off or make excuses, go get checked out - if I didn’t I wouldn’t be here today 💓 I’m honestly so shocked at how many people contacting me with experiences , family experiences and also wanting to help bring awareness to what happened to me. 💓 I’m still gobsmacked that so many newspapers called me and interviewed me and wanted to help bring awareness to the situation and condition and especially all the support from them 💓 I can’t thank everyone enough at how much you supported me and all your amazing messages 💓 I’m still suffering from it and I still have scars and damaged vein but I’m getting back to being me happy self again 💓 My messages are always open to anyone that needs a chat about anything 💓 Love you all , Nicole Emily 💓 #nicoleemilypr #survivor #dvt #bloodclotrecovery #pulmonaryembolism #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #contentcreator #strongwomen #mentalhealthawareness #girlssupportinggirls #girlssupportgirls #mentalhealthmonth #bloodclot #blootclotawareness #deepvienthrombosis #pItxlittlemix #everybodyinplt #powerfulladiestogether #edgehilluniversity #lakedistrictinfluencer #contentcreator #liverpoolcontentcreator #liverpoolmodel #liverpoolmodelling #modelsearch #boohoo #confidencebyboohoo #iamhidden #pullandbearcommunity
7 years. It has been 7 long, painful, heartbreaking, defeating years and I can finally say I’m better, I’m cured, or I’m fixed for the time being. . Blood clots, vein disease, insufficient veins, lymphedema, may-thurner syndrome, vein reflux, insufficient blood backflow : aka all the problems I’ve had in my left leg for the last 7 years. - I finally found a beautiful, wonderful, phenomenal team of human beings who have helped potentially cure me or make my life easier. I cannot thank them enough & I love them all with my entire soul. They saved me. They made me feel seen and heard, and they cared and helped more than anyone ever has before. . This has been a very emotional last few years of my life battling this disease. I’ve not been able to get tattoos on my left leg, I couldn’t wear certain shoes, socks or jeans and had to change my entire wardrobe, I couldn’t do public things because of the constant pain & swelling, even working my job has been a massive challenge. I’ve sat in bed and stared at my swollen, aching legs and cried myself to sleep. I’ve had multiple surgeries, I’ve been stuck with needles more times than I can count, ultrasounds nonstop. This has been such a long road to recovery. But I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Now it’s time to celebrate! . Today, I am free. 🩷🩷🩷 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bloodclot #bloodclots #bloodclotsurvivor #bloodclotawareness #bloodclottingdisorder #bloodclotrecovery #maythurnersyndrome #maythurner #maythurnersyndromeawareness #veinremoval #veinremoval #veindisease #veindoctor #healthy #healthiswealth #free #freedom #happy #health #healthandwellness #healthjourney #healing #healingjourney #heal #blooming #goodkarma #universe #manifestation
Trying to get back to my healthy. It was a 45 min yoga flow and I made it less than 20 mins before my body said “no more”. I didn’t push through it, I stopped.

Thank gawd I don’t have to worry about my vitamins not only do they provide me with everything I need for my health but I get them for free every month.

I’ve been home for one full week. It’s been a little more than a week since I was completely blindsided. I went to the emerge with shortness of breath and chest pains. After many hours I was diagnosed with pneumonia. However the doctor had ordered a special blood test as a “just in case.” That blood test called a D-dimer blood test saved my life. Just so you know …. normal results are 500, mine were 4000 on Monday…by Tuesday, the day I was admitted, it was over 15,000. I went from being happy, healthy, to gravely unhealthy, unsure of anything, and scared to death. The word’s “pulmonary embolism” changed my life in a matter of seconds. I have an embolism on each lung.The one on my left lung has attached itself to my heart causing minor but permanent heart damage. I spent 4 days on the stroke unit floor getting the treatments I so desperately needed. The way my life looks is now completely different. I don’t know quite know how it looks just yet but I do know that no matter what my health, and happiness comes first.

Update: I’m alive & healing! 🫁✨ Today’s appointment with my pulmonologist went really well and I’m hoping my appointment next week with my cardiologist goes well too! Today I learned I had a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism, which is rare within PE cases and if left untreated would’ve caused heart failure and death. I am beyond lucky to be alive today and extremely grateful to every nurse, tech, staff, specialist and surgeon that helped diagnose and treat this deadly disease within me. Recovery wise: Every day is different and that’s okay. I’m working through the limits within my body because of the strain and damage of my heart which has been very painful, as well as the mental health side of things. This was an extremely traumatic event and I’m very grateful to my family, partner, and friends for their love, prayers & support during this time. 🫂 As well as organizations like @stoptheclot, @bloodclotrecoverynetwork & @rowan_foundation for their support, resources and education!

This last week has been the most painful and eye-opening experience of my entire life. I am truly grateful to be alive today. 😭 I will be taking time to properly recover from this and slowly easing myself back into work over time! Thank you for all of the prayers and messages of support during my time in the hospital. It all meant so much to me! 🥹🙏🏻 Love always, Liz 🦋 • #pulmonaryembolism #pulmonaryembolismsurvivor #pulmonaryendartarectomy #surgeryrecovery #bloodclotsurvivor #bloodclotrecovery
Recovery has its ups and downs 🌈 I ended up back in the hospital last week 🤷♀️ It felt like a setback since I had been doing well the past week or so. Can't believe my luck with my health at the moment!🤞 ---- Hospital Appointment 📅 During my haematology appointment this week, I met a lovely doctor who really listened and wants to uncover the cause of my blood clots. She shared the good news that I've tested negative for clotting disorders 🙏 I'm relieved, but it's still very hard not to know what's caused the clots and why I'm living in chronic pain and fatigue. She gave me an hour of her time, and it's the first time since all this I could ask my questions. I can also come off blood thinners soon, as much as I dread the daily injections, I'll be scared to stop as they're what's stopping me from getting another clot. I left that appointment feeling happy though - I actually wanted to give her a hug. --- Ps just look at her smile. She keeps me going 💖
#DeepVeinThrombosis (DVT) is a condition where blood clots spontaneously form in the deep veins of the lower or upper limbs. Thrombolysis aids in the treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by utilizing medications that dissolve or break down blood clots, effectively restoring blood flow and preventing potential complications associated with clot obstruction. Stay vigilant for risk factors associated with deep vein thrombosis, such as a history of blood clots, recent surgeries, extended periods of immobility, or specific medical conditions.

300 million people worldwide live with a rare disease, many of which are thrombophilias (blood clotting disorders). I live with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), which caused life-threatening blood clots in my case. While there is no cure for APS, I am fortunate I received care when I did. I am able to manage my condition with anticoagulants, but that doesn't change the reality of what it means to live with a rare disease. It can be isolating and overwhelming to wonder what the future may hold. It requires medication, tests, and follow-up care, which can be draining. It can also feel debilitating, especially if you begin to wonder, "what if," and your mind replays countless worst-case scenarios. Despite all of this, living with a rare disease also provides an opportunity to talk about it, raise awareness, and foster community, while providing education, connection, and hope. . Today, on Rare Disease Day, I stand with everyone who is impacted by rare diseases to share our stories, increase awareness, and advocate for a future of equitable diagnosis, treatment, and care. . ➡️ Learn more about rare disease and its impact: www.rarediseaseday.org and visit @rarediseasedayofficial ➡️ Visit my blog to read about my experiences with APS: www.bloodclotrecovery.net/antiphospholipid-syndrome/ . . . #RareDiseaseDay #AntiphospholipidSyndrome #hopeforhealing #notalone #bloodclotrecoverynetwork #BCRN #AwarenessMatters #bloodclotrecovery #bloodclot #bloodclots #pulmonaryembolism #PE #deepveinthrombosis #DVT
