Well, I have had a bit of a worrying 24 horus. I had my first clexane injection as you all know. Well last night I noticed I had a hive like rash on my belly. The injection site bled on and off. I went to bed a bit worried about it all. The rash was worse this morning covering my abdomen. I woke with blood on the sheets from tiny nicks on my legs that I must have scratched in the night.
The rash is bruising which indicates bleeding under the skin for about a 10cm radius to the injection site. My ob saw me quite quickly (mmm!!!) We have stopped the clexane and it is clear that it isn't my friend. I thought that Clexane was gonna be my insurance policy - I have been using chinese herbs and acupuncture and feeling really positive about their use but I was taking the clexane to "cover all bases". However, I am feeling really comfortable about not taking it. Quite clearly I can't safely take it with the reaction I had but I feel like this baby is fine and will stay fine. I believe that I am doing all I can with the herbs and acupuncture and that's the best I can do!
