Summary
Got sick in March 2020 and that May was diagnosed with a DVT in their right arm; two blood thinners and low-dose Xarelto failed, while high-dose Xarelto kept the clots at bay. Constant fatigue, unrefreshing sleep and worsening depression persisted, and $17,000 of labs found no cause. They kept working full time to support their wife and child.
