Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group

Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.

Dear Sandy! Had a major DVT in my right leg that threw clots into my lungs back in late Feb.. Almost died from the lung clots. Struggled with increasing doses of Warfarin but could not get above 1.3

Finally, the high doses of Warfarin gave me side effects that were unbearable. Doc switched me to Xarelto 6 weeks ago and I love it. Also I love the no food restrictions with Xarelto. I am diabetic and not being able to eat greens on Warfarin left me only but few tasty options.

I give Xarelto 3 thumbs up- even if it is really expensive. Best wishes.
