okay so far
Working / Worked
Not sure of any side effects. Currently on 5mg dosage. Not sure how long I will have to take it yet...
Working / Worked
Taking this since a few days before I left the hospital. I feel like heck. I had bled heavily for 65 days.... was extremely anemic... finally went through 2 blood transfusions, while still bleeding. I got the DVT after bleeding that long, while playing World Of Warcraft. (sitting still for a long time)
I was in a sort of "bad" place in life and didn't pay as much attention to things as I should have, this has lead to my current concern; maybe just paranoia.
Apparently I was very resistant to the Warfarin and only reached my ideal INR levels twice in 3 months. Side effects - my hair fell out after the 3 months. However I felt really good on the Warfarin and my extreme migraine like headaches actually disappeared.
I am insisting on daily draws until I know I am at steady state. I won't let someone else bully me into dropping down below 2 and put my life at risk. No way! It is not acceptable and if they don't likie it, I will go somewhere else. It's my life. My advice is that you do the same. Nothing to mess around with. Both my lungs are peppered with PE because I was complacent. Lucky to be alive.
Coumadin makes me tired! but I get through it!
