I live in ILLINOIS &amp; I too think I'm a victim of Heparin . I was hospitalized in Decatur IL around 2002 - 2003 for " Endocarditis " ? ( so they say ) . I was running fevers of 100.5 &amp; 100.6 the entire time i was there . I had a picc line that I was recieving the med through but , i felt like I was getting worse as the weeks went by . I was there a month , I have 2 kids they were babies at the time of this. I kept wondering if I was going to die there because I couldn't get better &amp; I thought maybe I need a better hospital? At one point I sarted having leg pain ( in the calves ) , they did a test but said no clots were found but still I had leg pain &amp; still do ! I was in the hospital for a month and was on Heparin the entire time. I eventually went home &amp; was recieving home IVs of Heparin for another month maybe longer . My hair was falling out from it , my skin was horrible , I also had constant diareaha the entire time . I was in that hospital bed for 3 1/2 weeks of my 1 month stay , no mobility no range of motion &amp; even now I want to run track but can't , the pain in my legs ( calves ) is horrible still today. Can someone help me? And I'de like to know if anyone else lost hair or had skin problems while using this? I also went from 160 pounds down to 128 pounds almost a 40lb weight loss in a month time . Any help ? <br>Thanks ,<br>Donna </p>donnataylorThu, 16 Jul 2009 13:00:13 -0000
