  Hi guys.I've been on Eliquis since around April 9th and lately out of nowhere I'm experiencing chronic constipation and diarrhea.Has anyone had experience with this when starting out with Eliquis? Does it ever go away? I know these are side effects, but to be safe, I'm getting a GI to check me out later this week. It's just causing me so much stress...

  Sorry this post might TMI and I wasn't sure where else to post this.I've been noticing I have red tomato skin things in my stool recently and I'm freaking out that I have liver flukes. I'm getting it checked out tomorrow but it's driving me mad that there could be things eating out my liver.But I checked my stool again this morning and couldn't see a single red tomato thing (except once when I wiped) which makes me think if I really have it or not.(But yesterday I saw a lot though in my stool)I...

  I think it had been discussed before and I'm ignorant but...I had a DVT back in April that turned into a PE and have been considering different birth control methods. I want to have Nexaplon and wondering if people have clotted on it. I have no known genetic blood disorders as I was tested for them and they came back negative. I know proestrogen is crazy but even as I discussed with my gynecologist, there hasn't been many studies of Nexaplon increasing clotting risks more than estrogen.So...I...

  Hi guys.I'm wondering if anyone has had any success in recovering from residual clots? Right after they cleared my major clot in my right lung, they said I still had residual clots in both lungs.I'm 27 and the sub massive PE was from a DVT which was caused by birth control, dehydration and a long haul flight. (I don't have a genetic blood disorders as they checked for it in the hospital)I'm just getting anxious that I'll never fully recover from this and the shortness of breath and...

  I'm freaking out. I was bending down to get something from the freezer, and bumped my head a little against the back of my water filter. I've had worse head bumps before, and this wasn't bad, but it hurt a little. Should I be worried about internal bleeding?!On eliquis 5 MG, next dose in two hours.

  Hello,I'm just wondering if this is normal for anyone else.I got out of the hospital last week from a submassive PE and been on Eliquis 5 mg twice a day now. Already on the first week my lungs feel a lot better but there's something going on with my legs....My pain in the leg is like 2-3 out of 1-10 in my right leg (even though my left one was the one that had a DVT) I'm just freaking out and have no idea if this is normal or not. On top of that there is a VERY small swelling in my right foot...
