I am following almost directly in my mother's and grandmother's footsteps, except I have had 2 bouts of extensive blood clots, and one pulmonary embolism. My father died from blood clots at 39. I have other issues that my mother didn't have. But, she developed PMR in her later years. I also have her tremor and balance problems. She cut her life short at the age of 78 by stopping her blood pressure and heart meds intentionally. She'd broken ribs, scapula, hip and several back fractures at this point. I am much worse than she was at the age of 60, and see no light at the end of my tunnel.
