Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Each of the four times I've spent time in the sun, I've had painful sun blisters the next day, with no sign of tanning. I've lived my life in the sun without this ever happening before.
Yesterday I did some research to see if this might be due to the warfarin.
Who knew? There was no warning.
From this report, it looks like the older we get, the more likely we are to have a photosensitive reaction to the sun.

I used to tan easily, but no longer. I'm wearing a hat from now on, and I hope I haven't done any serious damage to my skin due to this new photo sensitivity.
Be warned - it looks like age 40 is when we become susceptible, with a greater likelihood of a photosensitive reaction as we age.

Nationalday.com proclaims September 28th as Self Aware Day. I took a few snaps of various core values lists and tried to pick my top five core values (kinda hard to only pick 5). But here are my top picks. Feel free to list a few of yours too:GodLovePeaceStability Compassion

Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama. I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago. She basically had been monopolizing conversations for that long too. She pretty much stopped asking me questions about me. I passed her in front of her classroom the other day and didn't even look at her. I am...
That said, though, I would be concerned if I were you and was suddenly getting sun blisters. I hope you have mentioned it to your doc. It could be another med you are on or maybe a combo of that med and the warfarin.
Me, personally, I'm super-fair and burn like crazy anyway. Hats and 50 suncreen are my friends.
I am approaching the 50 y.o. mark in a few years and have been on Coumadin on and off since 1992 (low intensity since 2000). Never a problem with photosensitivity, and I spent a lot of time outdoors.
