Tummy Injections

[carlton23]

I have to self inject Clexane enoxaparin sodium into my stomach in the morning and am a little concerned, as on reading the enclosed info leaflet it states in the side effects columm `If you have a machanical heart valve (which I just happen to have) treatment with Clexane might not be sufficient to prevent blood clots, and you might develop a clot on the heart valve. So as it`s at 8 o`clock in the a/m that I have to do it this may be farewell to all my friends in A/B. Hoping to write to you all very soon.

carlton...Clexane is to stop clots.....I don't know you history, but I bet that you are taking Clexane because you have a mechanical valve. Read the "descructions" again.....I bet the contra-indication has something to do with subacute bacterial endocarditis......!!

I hope you are not winding us up.....LOL

See you at 9.am.

Morning Sqad, Thanks for your reply, I am going for a colonoscopy on Thursday, and as I have been on Warfarin since 1973 due to the fact I do have a mechanical valve, (a rubber ball in a cage) I have to self inject for a few days, and I have type 2 Diebetes also a Pacemaker. Will get back to you when it`s over.... hopefully.

carlton....don't worry.

[carlton23]

OK

[carlton23]

Oh, I also forgot to mention the reason I am having a Colonoscopy, I also have for the past five years Prostate Cancer. So, worry, who`s worried????

[Sqad]

I, for one, am very glad we have sqad among our number - so far I've not needed to call on his expertise but when you find something your GP has neglected to tell you [ and should have done] it's great to have someone so knowledgeble AND helpful around to quieten the butterflies.... so thanks, sqad and Good Luck carlton23

[Sqad]

seekeerz.........thanks, but might I point out that your opinion of me is in the minority.....LOL

Very brave of you to say such things on B&S.............but much appreciated.

[seekeerz]

I had a feeling there were a couple who didn't appreciate what was under their noses, but I hoped they were in the minority - c'est la vie !!! .......... and I have broad shoulders, so i"ll be ok, you just ignore the rabble if you can and continue with the good work you do. it's appreciated.

[ummmm]

Sqad...I think it's only the odd few that don't appreciate your answers.

I'll say no more on the subject as I do not want your head to explode :-)

[Sqad]

ummmm.....but you are biased.....you are in love with me......;-)

[marval]
