Hi There, I have personally experienced DIC after a routine surgery. I have ongoing health issues that have significantly affected my health. I used to be so active and strong, I had a motorcycle I drove, I was a kiteboarder, hiked, sailed, I also work in healthcare. Im no longer able to work, I have issues concentrating, word recall issues, severe fatigue, chronic tachycardia with a HR avg. 120-140/min. I get shortness of breath after just a few minutes of activity. I bruise so easily now, my veins are terrible, many are destroyed, tiny spider veins. I was researching long term affects of DIC ad came upon your message here. I cant seem to find any research for my question as of yet.
