Unhappy Dreaded DVT!!!! HELP!!!!!!

Hi all, I have been recently diagnosed with the DVT & thrombophlebitis!!! Now on daily Tinzaparin injection,Warfarin and blood tests every 4th day. hospital says 3 months treatment should be fine....private consultant says atleast 6 months!!! CAA has temporarily suspended my Class 1 Medical. I was just about to start my CPL/IR but this has taken priority now!!!

Is there anyone out there who's had first hand experience of this dreadful thing??? And I would like to know how likely it is to re-occur?? Considering the risks of getting it again are quite high....I might have to reconsider the career change option !!! If anyone ever had it how soon did they get their Class 1 back? and what do they do to prevent it happening again???

P.S.- I would really appreciate some help with this....its not easy to let go of something we love doing most!!!!
