P.E. Chronic Ven Insf | Have had ups and downs with coumadin, but when I was 18 years old, i suffered a fall in an industrial accident. This caused a clot in my leg. After returning to work for a few weeks, I started having pain in my leg again. When I was at the doctor's office seeing him about the pain, I had a P.E. Since that time i have had numerous clots and due to all major leg veins now being occluded, I wear a compression stocking on that leg and still have experienced about 5 or six ankle ulcers over the years. Some of these took over two years to heal. This has been a long ride with coumadin, but I would n ot be here without it. | M | 60 | 42 days 6mg. 1X day | 9/11/2015 | 5 | I had a pulmonary embolism | Starting to get burning sensation in my stomach and left leg burns | But it saved my life | F | 44 | 6 years 10 | 2/4/2015 | 5 | BECAUSE I AM BEING TREATED FOR PE. | I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism back in September,i went to the emergency room because I was having shortness of breath and craps in my ribs on the right side.by me having pneumonia in the past I know the symptoms so I went to get checked out I had it a long with PE.I was put on warfarin,after taking it I had minor side effects the first month shortness of breath and a little pain and tingling in my fingers but three months in I've been back and forth to the emergency room because I am having more issues nerve jumping in my face,burning sensation in my chest shortness of breath worsens at night,anxiety attacks sometimes and I'm sick of the doctor saying it's my imagination bullshit.Hey I appreciate the warfarin saved my life but there gots to be some other med out there with minimum side effects in it,I think it's the rat poison in the warfarin that triggers these side effects. | Lord knows I am counting down the days before I go to my doctor all the way down to my final dose of warfarin to here him say.well Mr Smith you can stop taking this so I can get on with my life. | M | 48 | 1 days 10.0-12.5 | 1/9/2015 | 5 | superior vena cava syndrom | I have not really experienced any side effects beside a little bruising was put on coumadin because of blood clots that I had in my main veins in my chest I had six procedures done and was in the hospital for two weeks I was swelling in my neck and left arm ...if it wasnt for this drug I guess I would die | F | 38 | 1 years 10mg | 10/10/2014 | 5 | Protein-S deficiency (hereditary) | I have brittle nails, experienced hair thinning but is finally growing back.

The lower body pain I was experiencing, started long before the large left leg DVT , that caused terrible pain, was diagnosed. The first thing I noticed was my breathing improved, then the swelling in my face began to go away, people who had not seen me in a while, would do a double take, and say wow is that you? You don't even look like the same person. then slowly the pain in my lower body began to resolve, until around 3-5 months at which point the pain was gone completely, amazing not possible I thought. Then it got even more amazing, For the first time in years, my husband said to me slow down, you are walking to fast, I had not even realized how strong my lower body muscles had become. At one year the doctors decided to take me off the coumiadin because the DVT had resolved, my doctor said he would leave it up to me, weather I wanted to stop taking coumadin. I thought well since the DVT is resolved I should not have the same problems | F | 47 | 1 years 1X day | 3/12/2013 | 5 | DVT left calf, Multiple PE | Dry skin (breaking out a bit) stomach pains (full/bloated), heaviness or tightness in chest, tingly sensations, fatigued more easily, slight weight gain | F | 29 | 3 months 2mg, 2.5mg 1X day | 3/6/2013 | 5 | DVT/PE | Swelling/Edema in legs & trunk, weight gain, hair loss, brittle nails, nausea, vision change, taste change, pain in abdomen/stomach, extreme Fatigue, skin changes | F | 37 | 3 months 5 mg & 7mg | 12/8/2012 |
COUMADIN (WARFARIN SODIUM): This medication is used to treat blood clots (such as in deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolus-PE) and/or to prevent new clots from forming in your body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), heart valve replacement, recent heart attack, and certain surgeries (such as hip/knee replacement). Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but the more correct term is "anticoagulant." It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in your blood. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
