Still had some problems Jan 2011 so went back to doc, who arranged blood tests, and in the end was diagnosed with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia), Symptoms slowly faded away and felt I was getting back to normal, until Nov 2011 had another DVT, in the other leg. Had daily heparin injections for some weeks until Jan 2012 when started back on warfarin. Within a week or two, noticed breathlessness and fatigue started again.

Depression at times. | Have to be on this the rest of my life. I wish I had received a tissue valve now instead of a mechanical valve. My father got a tissue AVR valve and does not have to take blood thinner. He has not experienced the weight gain that I have. I cannot eat a lot of vegetables (dark green especially as my blood thickens too easily). I hate the coumadin!!! | F | 60 | 4 years 3 - 4 alt 1X day | 5/29/2012 | 3 | DVT AND PE AFTER C SEC | TIRED, HAIR LOSS, WEIGHT GAIN, HEART FLUTTERS FROM TIME TO TIME WITH CHEST PRESSURE, NUMBNESS IN ARM, MEMORY ISSUES. | ITS SCARY, I HAVE ALWAYS WEIGHED 110-115 NOW WEIGH 155 AND HAVE WEIGHED UP TO 163.

AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS A FOREVER THING FOR ME TOO. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE A WALKING TIME BOMB WITH OUT IT. SO WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE? | F | 42 | 8 years 9 1X day | 5/23/2012 | 3 | DVT | Cold, tired all the time, heavy periods, hair loss, weight gain, general feeling of being unwell | I have been on Warfarin for 6 years after having a DVT in left leg, groin to knee which happened after breaking my ankle. I have been given all the usual tests and have Lupus Anticoagulant which make me prone to clots. I am on this for life now and although it does save your life I dont believe taking rat poison ever day can do you any good at all, no other option but to continue.. I hope they will switch DVT patients to Pradaxa but not sure if it is licenced for that yet. Comforting to know others feel the same and I am not going mad. | F | 47 | 6 years 4mg 1X day | 5/8/2012 | 3 | pulmonary embolism | forgetful, severeheadaches,eye red and painful,constipation,tire easily | I want my life back,don't fel like socializing. can't read due to eye pain,can't concetrate | F | 66 | 45 days 6mg 1X day | 5/7/2012 | 3 | DVT, right leg. | The weight gain has been ridiculous, I have bi-polar depression and it has been 10 times worse than it's ever been.

Feel bloated all the time plus hungry! Extremely fatigued and moody. Cant get my level stabilized. It went from being low to being too high that caused blood in my urine. Cant wait to get off of this....question is will I ever be to lose the weight I put on? This sucks!! | F | 38 | 3 months 16mg | 4/2/2012 | 3 | Unprojected Pulmonary Embolism | Weight gain, sluggishness and lower stamina, lapses of memory, aftertaste in mouth in morning, feeling cold at times and numbness in feet(more pronounced in right foot). | Going into the 3rd month of standard 6 month treatment for PE. INR has stayed low (1.4-1.5) tell 5 days ago when it finally checked in at therapeutic level of 2.7. I have tried to exercise more intensely to loose some weight with goal of loosing 15 pounds. Instead have gained about 10. I would hope to get off after 6 months, but with no known cause for my blood clot might have to become a lifer. | M | 65 | 10 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 3/10/2012 | 3 | Bilateral PE's | Always cold! I have a hard time remembering names, this did not happen before I started coumadin. Had to go down to San Diego for evaluation for PTE surgery and was switched over to lovenox before I left. Due to some reaction with coumadin and lovenox, I ended up in the ER puking up a total of 5 units of blood. Almost didn't make it. | I have not been having side effects such as hair loss or pain, but I'm still not a fan of the drug. I ended up having the PTE surgery, and will be on coumadin for the rest of my life. I'm trying to find better alternatives! This all happened when I was 18-19. But then again, it could always be worse! | M | 20 | 1.5 years alt. 5/7.5 1X day | 2/24/2012 | 3 | dvt pe | Suffered dvt and pe a month ago and I'm only twenty. Warfarin makes me be cold very easily so cold to the point I could cry sometimes I cannot bear being outside . I also have been feeling very anxious, and increased hunger. Disturbed sleep like I'm wide awake. | F | 20 | 1 months 3 | 2/18/2012 |
