CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

Funny you mention not knowing about being a clot candidate. 2 months ago I ended up in hospital with severe kidney stone pain and whilst scanning for the stone, they found an "old" clot in the portal vein of my liver. So Ive been on a course of Eliquis (apixaban) until it clears. Ive also had tests to see if its genetic or from an old op. I might give the Astrazeneca jab a wide birth even though they reckon there isn't a conclusive link between the clot and the jab..

Sorry to hear you have been ill mate, and hope you are all clear of that kidney stone, clot and on the mend. I'm sure 98-99% of the population will be fine especially younger folk with the astrazeneca vaccine but you dont want to be in that 1-2 % of potential problem candidates without some input from your own medicos on the risks vs benefits and like I said I would prefer my own GP to be doing the vaccinating and being available to monitor reactions etc than some grad doctor who struggles to find a vein or give the correct dose ie like that initial older patient who copped a double dose.
Imagine that was someone inclined to clots and they get a double dose by accident, there has to be more checks and balances other than just asking people to just rock up and accept what is being jabbed into you without proper analysis of your individual health. I'd just be asking your GP/Specialist what they recommend for you rather than being told by a Govt computer what you have been assigned...
