I had an appointment with my best dr the other day and he had a student dr with him.
Whilst the appointment wasnt about my clotting, he asked me to explain how atypically i present with pulmonary emboli and how treatment affects me beyond breathlessness

Some notes:
1. My dr knew id be ok with this and im beyond happy he did it
2. My diagnosis is pulmonary emboli but i present exactly how youd expect with #postvac #longcovid with anticoagulants stopping me relapsing

The point was that no one expected me to have pulmonary emboli. I had worsening breathlessness + positive d dimer, but didnt reliably desaturate, no pulmonary hypertension, no DVT signs, etc. Took 14 months to diagnose
