He said new protocol is blood thinners 1 mo before and 1 month after, I'm trying to power through this but it's hard as I sit here writing this my legs and feet hurt.

Loss of memory | This is a quick fix medicine because it does not require blood work although it can cause anemia. I NEVER FELT SO AWFUL IN MY LIFE. THIS MEDICINE SUCKS! | F | 60 | 40 days 10 mg 2X day | 8/3/2020 | 1 | hypertension | Extremely dizzy and took my blood pressure systolic down to 98 !!! | Personally I feel that it's a poison being pushed by doctors to get their palms scratched since there is no generic and costs Medicare over $1500 a month so their cut is probably few hundred dollars . I took myself off it slowly and now take a natural blood thinner called Nattokinase (2,000 FU's) at Bfst and Dinner plus a low dose aspirin at Noon and bedtime . I also take a good quality fish oil suppl. and curcumin suppl. at Bfst and Dinner . Fish oil is also a natural blood thinner and curcumin is an anti-inflammatory . I feel ALLOT better and rather take my chances with more natural things . Plus my blood pressure systolic back around 130 .

I get short of breath badly. My bones hurt worse and now my muscles ache all over. I get heart race a bit and overall heart seems stressed. The shortness of breath is what scares me the most. It is very expensive. I feel for those that pay cash. It.s about 500.00 to 500.20 cash around here. I feel like it has taken all quality out of my life, and I resent this medicine. | I am taking yo my Dr. And getting OFF it. | M | 67 | 2 years 2.5 2X day | 7/25/2020 | 2 | Subclavian Thrombosis | Foggy brain/cognitive problems, weak feeling, short of breath and breathlessness, weight gain, nose bleeds, major swelling/water retention in ankles, joint pain in foot and shoulder, depression, short term memory loss, insomnia, heavy periods… | Apart from nose bleeds and heavy periods, I didn't associate these other symptoms to the eliquis until my ankles continued to swell and I started searching for information on rare side effects.
