Stay lying down and elevate your leg on a pillow. Don't move around any more than necessary and have your daughter pack up your stuff. Praying for you! I had one, too.

I do not know, you can call the emergency room and ask? If it is a clot, you probably get thrombolytic medecine at the hospital.

Excellent advice from all, go straight in to the ER.

We'll be holding a good thought for you!

Sitting for long periods can cause this. You may begin by taking break from cpaptalk.com sometimes and take a walk to keep the circulation going.

NOT until this has been checked out and a clot has been RULED out.

Stormy, let us know what happens, because now we are ALL worried for you! And if you're not on your way yet, CALL AN AMBULANCE. This isn't the kind of think one hangs around waiting for a convenient ride. If there is a clot and it breaks loose you NEED TO BE at the hospital, not on the way.

Khauser # No, of course I mean by this is undisputed, not now absolutely not. Now is the hospital that is the main thing. Apologies if I was unclear. I'm from Sweden so the language's not the easiest.

No problem. I just wanted it to be clear.

I'd love to visit Sweden some day. Probably never happen

Khauser: Have you heard of the beautiful Swedish women? If you are in the neighborhood, please contact me, so may I offer you a cup of coffee.

Forget the coffee, I want what you first referred to! LOL

It would be great to meet other people on the forum. We are so widely spread around though. It's not like the old days (when I was a 20-something) where us relatively geek-types would meet. Once the Internet came in to being (for us public types, that is) everything changed.

Isn't that what almost put an end to President Nixon's last term back in the day? Big emergency. Deep Vein Thrombosis???

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I came to this thread late in the day. I'm hoping Stormy will check in with us too. She was posting recently about having spinal epidural injections, I know she's had a lot going on. Stormy, we're all thinking good thoughts for you.

I'm really concerned now too, it's been almost 12hrs since we heard from her, hope she checks in soon that it was nothing serious.
