4 | Sinus Venous Thrombosis | Tiredness, light dizziness, upset stomach, lack of appetite. All of the symptoms mentioned above do not always persist but rather come and go. | If anyone else is suffering from the same side effects, I would appreciate if you contact me via email and share that with me. | M | 27 | 2 months | 12/27/2004 | 4 | I had DVT when I was 14. | longlasting bruising. Especially if I accidently hit my leg or arm to a chair or a table the bruise gets too dark and stays for years. Really I am not exagerating. | F | 26 | 12 years | 12/25/2004 | 3 | Spleenic Infarcts | A little bleeding when I brush my teeth. A bit cold, but I live in New England, and was borned in a very tropical city in South America, so maybe it's not the drug that's the problem. Biggest problem with this medicine is that it constantly remains me of my mortality. Not that I though I was inmortal before. I do recomend to try to spend more time with family and friends. I feel fine, the effect is mostly fear of getting a complication. | I still do not know why I developed the spleenic infarcts, all my blood work came back negative. My doctor recommended life long treatment. It's hard to think about a life-time of coumidan. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I can't complain, had this happened to me in my country, I would have been in big trouble. | M | 32 | 6 months | 12/12/2004 | 4 | Stroke | I am extremly cold now when I'm not excersising.

Migrane headaches, difficulty swallowing/having to clear my throat constantly, fatigue, numbness of the skin on my hands/extremities, and severe PUFFY EYES! | I take it only because I have to. Since I have so many side affects I'm also worried about jaundice/liver damage | M | 37 | 3 years | 10/19/2004 | 3 | DVT | I'm getting headaches is this normal... and light sensitivity - blood in my nose when i blow my nose now and i bruise easily | this drug scares me b/c i'm afraid if somthing happened i wouldn't be able to clot properly | F | 28 | 1 months | 10/15/2004 | 3 | DVT (3 times)/IVC filter placement | Fatigue, difficulty regulating temperature (either too hot or too cold), mood swings, weight gain, frequent headaches. | I have had to have INR checks weekly for the past 3 years because I can't stay regulated. My target range is 3 to 3.5 and it fluctuates wildly, even though I only alternate 2 and 2.5 mg. Sometimes I just say | F | 36 | 5 years | 10/4/2004 | 3 | DVT (3 times)/IVC filter placement | Fatigue, difficulty regulating temperature (either too hot or too cold), mood swings, weight gain, frequent headaches. | I have had to have INR checks weekly for the past 3 years because I can't stay regulated.

Use to have a lot of patience and now get quickly frustrated. Bruise easily. Sick to my stomach all of the time. | Take it to keep alive, however, long for a day when I am not sick to my stomach and feel cold,tired and edgy. Wish someone would find an alternative or a diet list. | M | 58 | 7 years | 9/24/2004 | 5 | heart | M | 57 | 2 months | 9/19/2004 | 4 | Double Stroke | Bruising very easily. | Although this drug is great for extending ones life, it alters what life they did have extremely simply because of the side affects. | M | 36 | 4 months | 9/19/2004 | 4 | Mitral valve implant | She has sores and lesions in mouth, lots of brusing. | My baby will be on coumadin the rest of her life | F | 1 | 2 months | 9/7/2004 | 5 | amputee, dvt | tenderness of skin, no bruising, swelling or other visual signs. | F | 65 | 9 years | 8/15/2004 | 5 | DVT (lower left leg) | Feeling noticably colder. I used to be able to wear short and t-shirts to air conditioned work place now I freeze if I don't wear at least jeans, and my hands are still getting cold even with that. | It takes some getting used to to start taking meds every day, especially something as tightly regulated as coumadin | M | 29 | 3 months | 7/16/2004 | 5 | DVT | weakness, lethargy, exhaustion | on extremely high dosage of coumadin (16mg per day); has reduced number of daily headaches as a benefit | F | 32 | 2 months | 7/14/2004 | 3 | artificial heart valve | INR levels for past 4 years have been fairly consistent.
