| 5 | Factor 5 Def. 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.

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 | 5 | I had no side effects, the drug was amazing. 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 | 5 | Bloodclot in left leg | Hi I was paralyzed in car accident they just found it after all this time I was in and out the hospital all the time but I keep havin chills and very bad sweats is that normal. | F | 40 | 2 months 10mg | 6/4/2012 | 5 | None | Hair Loss: It is most likely genetics Fatigue/ Muscle Loss: You are most likely out of shape due to the fact that you changed your lifestyle due to Coumadin. You can live an active lifestyle with Coumadin if you are careful. Depression: You were most likely depressed before Coumadin...now you have an excuse. Diet: You can eat/drink whatever you want to as long as long as it is factored into your dosage. Headaches: Most likely that is a diet issue. If you eat healthy and are hydrated, you should be good to go. Bleeding Gums: Use a soft bristle tooth brush and have your INR checked...it is most likely too high. For most of us Coumadin was forced upon our lives. Yes it is a pain in the a$$. Yes there will be some type psychological effect, but it is psychological. At some point you will have to let it go and live your life...it is too short to live in a box and blame everything on Coumadin. | M | 39 | 15 years 9 1X day | 5/27/2012 | 5 | 4-pe, 6 dvt, family history | I am cold all the time. Occassionaly, I do get headaces and feel light headed. I easily bruise and at times my coumadin has been too high and required medical attention. | I am a lifer when it comes to coumadin. I cannot survive without it. I understand that it has many side affects, but they have been manageable for me. Besides, it sure beats the alternative! | F | 48 | 32 years 5 mg 1X day | 12/5/2011 | 5 | 2 DVTs and 2 PEs | overall, I don't have many side effects. Sometimes my INR reads higher than I thought it would, but it has been easily remedied with diet and dosage adjustment. I am always cold. If my INR gets too high, I get severe headaches that absolutely nothing can alleviate. At first, I was depressed, but that was due to the situation not the meds. I'm grateful for all it's done to keep me alive and out of the hospital. | F | 31 | 4 years 10 1X day | 11/28/2011 | 5 | Deep VEIN Thrombosis | Without coumadin, I will die. I hated this drug at the beginning.I've lost my hair at 39, my figure, my fun personality, and dear friends. It killed many good fun things around me and .YES!, Its rat POISON. Is anyone still working a high profile job? I 've had to for our family medical. I can't do it anymore. I have fainted at work, costantly fatigued, I don't trust myself, I'm in chronic pain. How much wosre can this get??? I've been on coumadin treatment for 11.6.years . I will be on it for the rest of my life.As long as I can afford to pay for it.
