I got a DVT on a flight from Saigon -> NYC. Fell asleep for 9 hours with my leg folded under me.
DVT is gone now, but still dealing with the repercussions. I ended up getting Schamberg's disease as a side effect of Xarelto, so both of my legs look like they're covered in a rash. I have some vascular inefficiency issues in my left leg that become prominent if I sit for more than 30 minutes.
Good times /s
- quickthrower2 9y agoThat's horrible. I've never slept that long on a flight though. Did you take a pill to sleep that long?
- jawngee 9y agoNo, I had just had a kid and was sleep deprived for the two days leading up to the flight. Once I fall asleep, I can sleep through anything.
