- Hi everyone, it's been awhile. It's been a little over three years since my PE and I am still on Coumadin and my doctor has promised to fight my insurance for the heparin shots for a pregnancy. Of course, I am worried about the risks of pregnancy...
- How long did everyone that is off Warfarin keep losing their hair until it got better? I have only been off a week but still losing lots of hair. :(
- Hey everyone - I am almost at the 6 month marker with my Warfarin and losing lots of hair, but never had an issue with bulging veins. My skin did get more translucent and so I could see them better, but they just started getting really bulgy all...
- I know many of you have gotten off Warfarin in the past and are back on it or have gotten off it and are living life blood therapy free. I am in need of some advice. I am finally at that 6 month marker and although I have all the fears many of you...
- I have lost 28lbs in two months and my skin is sagging because of it being such a rapid weight loss. Last month I started working out again on my elliptical for an hour every night, and lifting weights. I am also eating extremely healthy and clean...
- Hey Everyone -So, at the beginning I wasn't losing any hair and I was stoked about it. Then about 2 months after I was diagnosed I started losing tons of hair. I have read a lot of the past posts about hair loss being from the body trauma and the...
- Over the last two months I have dropped from 158lbs to 140lbs and I have been eating like a horse. Has anyone else experience this weird, unexplained weight loss? Although I am trying to walk on my elliptical regularly, I am not consistent and am...
- Hey Forum Family -I haven't been on in a few weeks and I have missed the support tremendously. So many things began to happen to me at once and I withdrew from everyone around me, including this fabulous forum that has helped me through my PE...
- Hello AGAIN! Gosh, sometimes I think I overpost.....I totally know I do, ha ha ha! Hopefully some of the threads that ensue are as helpful to others as they are to me.In order to avoid the hair loss issues I was considering taking a Biotin...
- Today, almost 4 weeks out I decided to get a little exercise. I have been walking my dog regularly since my diagnoses, but it was very minimal for awhile because of the SOB.BUT.....today I was able to walk on my elliptical for an hour and it felt...
- Hi Forum Family -I am going on week four of Coumadin, but haven't hit a therapeutic level yet. My current INR is 1.8. I am still on the Lovenox shots and taking a beta blocker. All of this being said, I am noticing some interesting changes in my...
- It is day three of having my arm feel sore. It is only my forearm and it feels as though I overworked every single muscle in my forearm. I measures both arms and the arm that is sore has about 1inch larger diameter than my other arm. Weird. Any...
- Having intense dull pain pulsing in my right thigh.....has anyone has this or have any idea what it could mean? I am still on Lovenox, but is it possible it is a DVT clot from prior to getting on Lovenox. Damn, it hurts! Has been bad for about three...
- I have been having blood clot looking stuff when I blow my nose today. I know my INR nurse said that Coumadin can cause bloody noses, but my INR is 1.4. This seems weird. Sorry, if it seems like TMI, just wondering if anyone else has experienced...
- My INR has not been stabilized, which means a third week of shots with a potential of longer. Obviously, I also need to quit smoking to make my future more promising (with the hope I can eventually get off Coumadin). My experience with all my...
