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)

 3  Factor v Leiden With 6 total DVT's my check valve in my arteries are shot it is very hard to circulate blood makes walking difficult standing impossible. But it's ruining my tendons like my Achilles' tendon I can barely walk. I don't take blood so other alternative will not work. Is a serious injury you would need blood I stand by Acts 15:20 with Coumadin a shot of vitamin k can reverse the bleeding that's why we stay off a dark leafy green meal. M 59 6 years

 3  Dvt Itchy skin. Bruising. Phlebitis cellulutis. Hemorrhages heavy periods constipation aches pains. Cold summer and xtra in winter. Runny nose. No growth in my nails. Restricted to concieve a baby. Doctors tried to tell me i wasnt allowed to have a kid. Its a pain having ur arm pricked every 2 weeks or week. Whens this warfarin going to be replaced with xarealo? Compression socks are unfashionable unsexy and are like bin a grandma. Theres too many strengths of tablet and why cant there just be one single tablet instead of pinks browns plus blues etc that u have to count urself. M 42 10 years

 3  pulmonary embolism Extremely annoying tingling sensation and sharp pin-like pain in feet,legs and hands when I am in bed at night or if seated for too long. Used to get numbness in face,legs and arms but that had subsided. I am grateful for this medicine because it has helped me. However,I do not enjoy the side effects I get by taking it. I wish I can say I'm looking forward to the day I no longer need it. That wish was crushed when my doctor said I have to take it for life. 😭😭 I'm glad to know that there are people out there on coumadin who are experiencing the same side effects as I am. I was made to believe that this medicine has no side effects. The crazy thing is, none of those people are on it. 😕 F 43 10 years

 3  Protein S Deficiency Ever since I have started Coumadin 8 years ago, I got better but I feel like my body is going downhill. I keep having so many other problems especially in pain after I get hurt. I am a letter carrier for the post office and I tend to get hurt. After getting hurt, I struggle to get better and it taken forever to get better. I have a lot of burning sensation on my feet and hands.. The dr thinks it's all in my head.. They said it's not from Coumadin! No matter how hard I tried to tell them that the medicine is giving me problems! Am always complaining that I am in PAIN!! Yes I am also COLD!! Is there anyone here can really noticed that we have problems with the Coumadin and wake up those doctors and realize that there's a serious side effect. I can't go on working with all those problems!! Doctor don't get it!! F 49 8 years

 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

 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
