My first PE the dr. thought was a result from a surgery I had experienced. The double PE that hit me a few years later, almost killed me. I'm grateful I was tested for the factor screening, that I'm here to enjoy family, friends and life. I'm active, I motorcycle, bicycle, hike and horse back ride...Don't be afraid to live! You can still have hobbies. I monitor my diet and other prescriptions that might interfere with my dosage. I gained weight initially because of physical limitions, but joined TOPS and got it off! We all make adjustments.... That's what compromise is all about! Wake up out there! Someday I hope it won't be necessary to ply myself with "rat poison" but it could be worse, I could be dead! | F | 56 | 15 years 5-7mg's 1X day | 7/14/2014 | 1 | pulmonary embolism | extreme tiredness; stomach bloat/discomfort; dizziness; red spots on body/face; peeling fingernails; major hair loss; dark areas on lower legs; bleeding gums frequently; aching joints/muscles; small red blood vessels showing on cheeks; frequent nausea; osteoporosis; bruising; to name some symptoms. | This is a horrible and potentially deadly drug.

Scared about INR results. Getting inr 1x week...so unstable. Spikes that time of month. Havent felt myself for years now. Gradually feel im deteriorating. Also thankful to be alive but quality of life leaves me in tears at times. This is not life. Surviving...thats it. Warafin causing issues with others physical issues i have and cannot properly medicate for. Dont wish this on anyone. Beyond pain in ass. Most days just want to curl up in ball. Apparantly a lifer. YEAH for me. Honestly pissed..tired...disheartened. Feel like ginnie pig. Good luck everyone. | F | 45 | 1 years | 11/11/2013 | 3 | DVT left leg | Fatigue, upset stomach, loss of appetite, increased anxiety & depression, night sweats, difficulty sleeping. Sporadic loss of focus & interest in life activities. | Makes me wonder if the cure is worse than the "disease" (DVT in leg) | M | 40 | 4 weeks 12.5MG 1X day | 11/6/2013 | 3 | bi-lateral PE's in both lungs | Have to be on this terrible drug for 6 months. experiencing weight gain (gained 9 lbs in hospital before coming home and gained another 5 lbs since being home), stomach bloating, diarrhea, low appetite, poor sleep, severe joint and muscle pain, hands and feet cold, hair loss/thinning, extreme exhaustion (as in I cannot function some days because I am so worn out), brain fog/trouble with remembering thoughts/words, bruising, raised liver enzymes. I HATE this DRUG and want to be done with it so badly! but I have so long to go! hate all the inr tests, the constant up and down and up and down of the dosage, and all the side effects. i feel so crappy right now that i am beyond depressed. some days i just want to crawl in bed and just sleep until it all goes away. | HATE THIS DRUG but know that it thinned my blood after a month and a half of being on it. So praying it will just do it's job, help my body break up the clots so I can feel better and get the heck off of it. | F | 36 | 1.5 months 10.5 1X day | 11/2/2013 | 3 | DVT in thigh, PE/Plumonary Embolism | Swelling knees, back aches, often have difficulty sleeping due to lower back pain along the muscles of the spine, morning muscle aches from the kidneys upwards or muscle pain radiating out from between the shoulder blades, the lower trapezius. More frequent cramping in calves, fingernails are brittle (rip and chip more easily), fatigue/loss of physical endurance, slower to heal, sensation of blood rushing through my leg veins, maybe some minor memory loss as well, although it could be that I'm just getting older :) | It is difficult to distinguish what might be a drug effect, what is due to clotting, and what is life, but it seems to me that since going on Coumadin the circulation in my back muscles is reduced when I sleep. I get woken up after 5-7 hours from the ache, and it only goes away with a massage or enhanced blood flow to the area from a little physical activity. Sometimes in the middle of the night I get calf cramps that I never used to get as well. Naturally I'm often more tired as I don't get the consistently unbroken sleep that I used to. The slight swelling at the back of my knees has made maintaining leg flexibility a challenge, but not an insurmountable one. My INR still fluctuates every few months between 1.3 and 3.4. All of this is a pain to manage but not life changing. As a seasonal labourer the most disturbing symptom for me is the fatigue/steadily declining physical energy reserves, although it may have more to do with hitting the 40s than Coumadin. Still, I am looking at other drugs like Rivaroxaban but the long-term side effects are unknown. Would love to go off Coumadin for 4 or 5 months a year so I could heal more rapidly during my work season. | M | 41 | 3 years 7.5 MG 1X day | 10/16/2013 Patient History | 4 | lupus anticoagulant | Anxiety. If inr becomes too high i feel fluish if inr is too low i feel very tired. | F | 33 | 3 years 8mg | 9/30/2013 | 5 | Multiple DVTs and a PE | Haven't had any side effects, luckily. I am do grateful for this drug. I have been on it for a year and I'm terrified to stop taking it. Initially I was told I would be on it for life but yesterday my Hemotologist told me I no longer need to be on it. Yes I do! Getting a 2nd and 3rd opinion. | F | 29 | 1 years 14mg | 9/4/2013 | 5 | Right Leg DVT and PE of lungs | Hello, the name is Robert and I was 43 when this happen and was 44 when I was taken off the Coumadin. I had pain in the left leg for sometime thinking I had pulled a muscle, but about a month and half I started getting pain on my left side about mid back. two days later I was in bad shape and was coughing up blood. That day I was admitted to the hospital where I was told if I had waiting another 24 hours I wouldn't be here to write this. I'm now going on 47 and have been off Coumadin for 2 years. When I went on Coumadin it took only about a month or so where I was pain free after my 5 stay in the hospital. I did notice of the course of taking this drug that my hair growth slowed and was thinning on my head as well as my pubic area! Even now I don't have the hair that I had, but the thinning has slowed and some has come back. However, I'm glad to my alive and I'm glad that this drug was around even know it's been around for many decades. I hope all of you get better and move on with lif | M | 46 | 1 years 7.5 1X day | 7/2/2013 |
