    Your story sounds very much like mine. I could do ANYTHING with a Horse. Mind you, his back is six feet four inches high, he weighs 2500 lbs. You can do anything with a Bike, then BAM ! Did they find out cause of DVT ?

    Yep ... they ran all sorts of tests and discovered I have a genetic disorder that makes me predisposed toward clotting, cardiovascular disease, and a few other things.

    While I am off the Warfarin, I do have to use Clexane injections (into my abdomen) before, during, and after all flights ... and compression stockings if I stand or sit for any length of time.

    I have never regained the speed and strength I had before the DVT but I am building up the distance again.
