| 4 | Saddle embolism, DVT | After about 4 months I developed incredible cramps in my legs, weakness, and it felt like a torn muscle. Wouldn't heal, went away after 3 more months. The drug was working so I kept on. Had a massive saddle embolism, was lucky to survive, had d dimers over 5000. Last few months I have been trying to exercise more, but start feeling poorly after a week. Have to take a break. Poor sleeping habits. No stamina, reduced strength. See the Dr tomorrow and hopefully I'll be set free. | Did as it was supposed to. I was not bothered greatly by the side effects as I was still recovering. But now I am healthy its become a burden. I can't lose any weight, and can't exercise without excessive fatigue. I can't build up my fitness.
