November 7, 2017Degos Disease AdminPatient Stories

Hi, my name is Mary, I live in the Chicago area. I was diagnosed with Degos in 2002. My current medications include 81 mg of aspirin 1 x a day, and 40 mg shot of Lovenox 1 x a day for the Degos, I am currently not symptomatic and have had no new leisons that I am aware of since 2002. Also, the stenoses that was diagnosed in late 2002 in my gut area — Focal stenoses of the celiac trunk, origin of the superior mesenteric artery, and multiple hepatic artery stenosis is no longer detected on my CT angiograms that are preformed every couple of years. I am followed by a hemotalogist at this time through the University of Chicago and only see him every 6 months. Currently my clotting factors are normal.
