[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1786160, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=472718]@briped[/USER], I echo your sentiment. I almost feel like as if I were your twin too. Wonderful that you have seen the swelling diminish. How do you feel today? Your experience back then sounds quite scary -- what if your GP hadn't decided to admit you to A&E right away. It seems your breathing was already quite compromised. What did the doctors say? To be honest, (and this was probably a bit crazy), I didn't really worry about the DVT and PE too much (after being given a shot of blood thinner) and the immediate danger had passed. What really concerned me at the time was the diagnosis of diabetes, as I thought life as I knew it was over. It actually took me many months to resign myself to this. Now after three years of being low carb, I don't really miss my old life very much (except maybe having some Mickey D's French fries). I didn't know that there was a stigma attached to thrombosis. Is it similar to the one attached to diabetes? I really hate this prejudice because most of the people judging us T2s don't really know anything about the real causes (unfortunately including some HCPs). They see that maybe the majority of T2s are overweight and thus believe this is the cause, never thinking twice if it might be the deranged metabolism bringing on the weight gain and thus starting a vicious cycle. Thanks for attaching the link with the exercises. The look good and not too difficult -- easy to understand even without speaking Danish. Exercise 8 actually looks similar to the one the nurse was telling me about. [COLOR=#59b300][B]Edited for grammar.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
