Holy shit, Reid. Even more drama in your real life while writing -- in a manner evidently too studiously focused and oblivious of prior needs, like walking, meant for your own good -- than perhaps even what Hemingway experienced in his.
And while your reporting is clearly nonfiction, assuming the shots of swollen body parts are of your own, are we talking, then, about a passion, a need -- what, a damn obsession, maybe?
If so, then bless you, brother. Been there, done that; I get the yearning and the horrible pursuit of it all.
Now I think you learned to not forget: you have to take a refreshing, mind-clearing, critically important -- and somehow, maybe kidney stone-preventing? -- walk. Like chicken soup or better (homeopathy?), it can't hurt and can only help.
Enjoy a good drink, and, to be sure, Much Congrats! and Best Wishes! on the book's release.
Great post Doc. But you missed your calling - that portrait would make Raphael jealous. Many 'painters' can 'paint' - kind of like house painters - but painting 'emotion' that is the hard part; that portrait is beautiful emotion.
About your DVTs: I find it hard to believe this is from excessive sitting. Have you been jabbed?Perhaps you can have someone do 'live blood analysis' on you to look at tour RBCs. Shedding from others can also do this. You may want to look at this great substack:
Wait 'til you hear, or read, the rest of it, Doctor. I haven't touched the surface. Not just trying to explain what electricity is to someone who doesn't know what an atom is or even that things can be "charged" but so many other things about life and death and love,
Yes. The portrait captured her personality perfectly looking at someone speaking to her without turning her head, only her eyes and the abstract rainy street scene behind her (her journey down a difficult road to this point in time) as a metaphor for her difficult past. I had never mixed colors before so I had to go on YouTube to learn the color wheel. Here's a video where I explain it all. (if you're interested...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvSe-RY6_j4
Also, if the "DVT" is in fact not hematologic in nature, but maybe of a synthetic/multi-metallic, nano-sized foreign substance in origin, then the entire vitamin K-1 issue vis-a-vis warfarin and Reid's bleeding state might just be rendered moot.
Warfarin use here would then be most questionable, no?
The possibilty of a non-natural, ie, non-hematologic blood clot of vascular origin following one or more m-RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine injections -- whose express design is to generate the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, unfortunately proven toxic to the endovascular epithelium, among a host of other key organ sites -- should, I agree, be looked into here -- I believe ASAP.
Here is possible a mechanism for stone formation: Warfarin (DVT treatment) is a vitamin K antagonist. I suspect warfarin, by antagonizing effects of Vitamin K, interfered with retention of calcium and phosphate in the bones and therefore more calcium and phosphate were excreted into urine. When urinary concentrations of calcium and phosphate were high enough it precipitated out as crystals/ formed kidney stone.
Sounds right. I still wonder whether adding about 100 mcg of vitamin K-2, as menaquinone-7, orally and once daily wouldn't actually help migrate Ca2+ toward and keep the body's most abundant mineral in the bones (and teeth), and out of such small-spaced trouble-spots of fleshy tissue, like the kidneys'.
I'm unaware of either any published evidence or worthy suggestion to date of any bodily, whether hepatic or extra-hepatic, reverse conversion to phylloquinone or vitamin K-1 from menaquinone or vitamin K-2 (of any sidechain-length) that could certainly worsen your potential for, or flat-out precipitate any further DVT and the terrible sequelae you're experiencing.
While I'm not a physician, it might still make sense that, even though your obviously out-of-therapeutic-range, quite elevated INR carries its own, numerous high risks, a possibly minute addition, if any at all, of vitamin K-1 to the present, overly anticoagulated hemodynamic mix just might provide the margin of safety you could use to help get and keep out any excess Ca2+ from depositing in your urinary (and other non-osseous) channels and not face added thrombotic threat.
Understandably; however, it might cost you a lot later to avoid supplementation with it now.
Our (formerly highly trusted) multi-health-agency recommendations to avoid eating saturated animal fats has resulted in a near-universal, vitamin D-like, measured vitamin K-2 insufficiency at the same time we see a steep rise in incidence over the same time-period in several morbidities, such as osteoporosis in females and coronary artery disease and general atherosclerosis, primarily of the aorta and its upper branch-work in both sexes, and other life-shortening or troubling conditions related to excessive and abnormal Ca2+ deposition in extra-osseous tissue.
Anyway, I take daily just what I mentioned to Reid to at least consider because the incidentally discovered 6-mm-size stone in my left.kidney is now either dissolved and excreted, or not growing and remaining friendly to harmless. I remain in good health with no signs or symptoms or other clinical evidence or suggestion of cardiovascular disease.
The anecdotes sometimes add up in the end to run par with what the clinical trials, like the famous Rotterdam Study, eventually find and conclude.
For these reasons and more, I eat 2 to 3 eggs daily, along with a moderate amount of nutrient-rich animal fat, and continue to bet on the ongoing good work my daily supplemental vitamin K-2 seems to be achieving. I'm thus now wondering less and, evidently, benefitting more. Stay frosty, brother.
CK: I think it was simpler than that. I was way too anticoagulated. I was bleeding internally as evidenced by blood coming from my fingernail cuticles, out the inner canthi of my eyes and bruised face and body. I got very dehydrated and crystalized the kidney stones out of solution. I'm still worried about getting another one since I had to go back on Coumadin. I also could get a PE and that would be it as I live alone.
Certainly appears over anticoagulated- hope you can keep eye on INR- there are online companies that allow consumers to order their own labs at more reasonable prices than hospital prices- they usually send you to LabCorp or Quest- Hope you find a reasonable way to monitor.
How did you get the DVT?
So sorry. Sounds truly awful.
I think it was sitting too long. The blood in my legs pooled and coagulated. All of it was. The DVTs and particularly the kidney stone.

PS: No I never got jabbed. No way.
You raise an excellent point re "the jab."

Holy cow!
So the deck looks like a cardboard egg carton.🤷🏻♀️
Haha. Nice try, Paulette. I'll take a bigger picture of it soon and let everyone guess.

You guys are right about Vit K being antagonistic to Coumadin so I can't get my Fe back up with leafy greens as they are loaded with K
I also wonder about benefit of K-2

Thanks. I dropped my dose from 15 mg to 10.
