Diagnosed as possible MAY-THURNER SYNDROM...They placed left common illiac stent from belly button to groin and put me on coumodin. I started to notice my severve Fatigue (and other symptoms) might be caused by taking coumadin, but that was not mentioned to be a significant side effect. So, i tried to go off of it. I noticed a tremendous improvement and felt like my old self again. Four months after going off it, i got my second DVT, required more elaborate re-stenting and had to go back on coumadin for life. UGH. I rated it a 3: because I hate the side effects, but it keeps me alive!!! | F | 47 | 10-15mg 1X D | 11/21/2010 | |
