March is Blood Clot Awareness Month, and I've made posts on social about it since March of 2019, four months after a close friend died of a DVT/saddle PE. He was 31 years old.

The text on the bottom right says National Blood Clot Alliance | Stop The Clot with two red illustrated blood drops next to it. Background is of many different people of various races and ages against different colors of backdrops. A red box with white text in the top left corner says: An estimated 900,000 people in the U.S. experience deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) every year. An image of someone holding a loved one's hand. A red box near the top of the image with white text says: Blood clots kill 100,000 people in the U.S. every year.

Thrombosis drives heart attacks, strokes, & VTE, yet key aspects remain poorly understood.

Prevention is under-prioritized, and experiments on animals—despite poor relevance to humans—still consume vast research resources.

On #WorldThrombosisDay, let’s rethink where our research dollars go.

June marks the beginning of #APSAwarenessMonth. The worst time to learn about #BloodClots is on a flight. An attendent noticed I was not well. She moved me behind the pilot cabin & held my hand until we landed. I was rushed to ths hospital .#APS confirmed.

June marks the beginning of #APSAwarenessMonth. I got my #APS diagnosis in August 2023 in a very dramatic way. The worst time to learn about #BloodClots is during a flight. Unfortunately I was on a 16 hour flight from Canada to Taiwan. I went into medical distress on my flight. An EVA Air flight attendent noticed I was not well. They ended up moving me to directly behind the pilot cabin and an attendant held my hand for the rest of the flight. I was brought off and taken directly to the hospital where I learned I have APS which is an autoimmune clotting disorder that makes me high risk for heart attack, stroke, and PE. I'm on blood thinners for life now. Don't get me started on the medical trauma with this diagnosis. I promise you'll learn more this month. The only reason APS was on my radar is because my friend Sheryl has it. When my rheumy broke the news, I was shocked and terrified. Learning to live in the aftermath of this terrifying diagnosis has been more challenging than my other diagnoses because this diagnosis can k*ll me in minutes. #AntiphospholipidSyndrome #DVT #PE #StopTheClot

March is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month! 🩸 A DVT is a blood clot in a deep vein that can lead to a fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Up to 300,000 U.S. deaths/year make DVT/PE the 3rd most common vascular disease. my.clevelandclinic.org/health/disea...

To the right, black text reads "DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS Awareness Month" within a dark red rectangle. Below, a blue rectangle contains the tagline: "Research Modernization NOW can take DVT research from blocked to breakthroughs," with a world globe icon inside a blue circle to the right. The Science Advancement and Outreach (SAO) logo appears in the top right of the image. The background transitions from dark pink to dark blue in a gradient. The graphic emphasizes the need to advance Deep Vein Thrombosis research using modern, non-animal methods.

Definitely have some major anxiety happen as I head back to Taiwan and think about my last flight back ending up in medical distress due to blood clots. Eight hours is more than enough but mega international flights such as 14 hours are hell. I had all of this at the 8th hour in 2023.

Two years ago, I went to the hospital because I couldn't breathe. I had no idea what was wrong with me because I did not know the symptoms of a pulmonary embolism. I waited too long to get help, which caused more damage. It'd be cool if more folks knew the signs and symptoms ⤵️ #stoptheclot
An image from the national blood clot alliance. It's intended to show symptoms of blood clots. On the left, symptoms are swelling in the leg, tenderness and leg cramps, out of breath, pass out lightheaded. On the right symptoms are chest pain back pain when breathing, leg discoloration red/blue hue, overdrive racing heart, time call for help 911. An image titled recognize the signs and symptoms of a blood clot. On the left these are symptoms for a deep vein thrombosis (DVT): skin that is warm to the touch, swelling, pain or tenderness not caused by injury, redness or discoloration of the skin. These are signs and symptoms of a blood clot in the leg or arm. On the right is an image listing the symptoms for a pulmonary embolism (PE): difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, faster than normal or irregular heartbeat, chest pain that worsens with a deep breath or cough. These are signs and symptoms of a blood clot in the lungs.
