> HELLO Barbara, I had a number of blood clots on my lungs within three

My first response to learning of blood clots after TM: AAAUUUGH! One more
thing to be concerned about!! Although I remind myself that it has been a
year and a half since the onset of TM for me and I've apparently had no
trouble so far, so "don't worry about it, Barbara!" What are symptoms of
blood clots on lungs? Pain or trouble breathing? I wonder if blood clots
after TM usually go to the lungs or other places also. I'm interested in this
because I've had a number of symptoms that resemble the symptoms of trans
ischemic attacks (kind of a precursor to a stroke). My neurologist doesn't
think that's it, but I've wondered whether to ask for more testing to confirm
it.

Guess that's one reason to keep moving. Guess I should be glad I live in a
house with stairs.

I hope so, too. I enjoy getting an idea of what others' personalities and
lives are like. Helps to put together the whole picture. My husband even
commented that maybe it would be helpful, cheering, refreshing to sometimes
write about something other than TM.
Thanks for writing!
Barbara
