Due to hospital negligence I got a DVT which traveled to my lung. I initially had problems controlling my INR readings. I was talking to a group of doctors when one of them asked me if I was taking DOXICYCLINE and he told me that that was my problem. Switched to another antibiotic and since then I have had no problems. I asked my DR about these new drugs that do not require freqent blood tests ...

I spent a week in the hospital after being diagnosed with PEs and DVTs, did the lovenox injections and warfarin to regulate the INR...but unfortunately my INR is NEVER within therapeutic levels....it is always waaay up or waaay down. I"m now taking 20 mg of warfarin a day. LOTS of muscle and joint pain...I've gain weight from this med, numbness in my feet, toes, legs, swelling in my legs/knee area. General overall discomfort from this med. I have a postive Factor V on top of it all...so I may be on some type of anticoagluent for life. All this was caused by birth control pills! My MD is considering switching me to Xarelto to see if my physical discomfort goes away, but from what I"m reading on the reviews....I doubt it! Read More Read Less

3mg/day for last 3 months after finding blood clots in lungs. Clots are gone, lungs are weak trying physical therapy to regain some strength. Trouble being lite headed during exercises even though O2 level is good.

I had multiple PE's after a rough winter of coughing and pain in my lungs. I could not take deep breaths and was given steroids and antibiotics on 2 different trips to Dr. because I wasn't getting better. These of course still did not work so my Dr. thought he better check me for blood clots. Yep, I had plenty in my lungs along with some dead lung tissue due to damage. I was in the hospital a week getting my INR to stabilize. I am currently on 6mg daily after smaller doses just weren't enough. This is my 3rd month of taking warfarin. I also noticed the weight gain others spoke about. Watch what you eat and get active ASAP when your doctor clears you. My metabolism has changed. No idea how I got the clots, every test is normal. I ran 30 miles per week before clots and I am now up to 25. I am trying to stay more active to combat these dumb pills. I see my doctor the end of May and I am begging to get off these things. Almost forgot, my periods have been MUCH heavier and longer. Also, the cramping is more severe than I have ever had. Read More Read Less

I am a Type II diabetic on NPH insulin, 18 units twice daily. 4 weeks ago my A1C was 8.4 My last A1C before that was 7.1 I believe the warfarin is elevating my blood sugar level. Is this a known side effect?

in november 2012 i went to the er with horrible stabbing pain in my back. they found a blood clot in my right lung which has killed part of my lung, i have pe and will be on warfarin for the rest of my life. im awaiting the results from the hemotologist to see if its more than just pe. knowing i will live the rest of my life feeling the way i do from this med sorry to say makes me feel i should put down life a sufferering animal whom will never have a good collity of life. i am about to turn 37 years old and feel 137! i am a mother of 5 children was a healthy active and in great shape and felt strong physically plus mentally. i have now gone from 135lds. to 171 and gainging due to this medication i have had 2 surgerys from internal bleeding and nearly died both times any time i have to leave my bed im either dizzy or passing out! i am in constant pain & pretty much bed riden i cough vilently to the point of vomiting w/blood at time i have colitios as well which is a much worse for of irretible bowel synd. this med cause me to have dirrea all day everyday dry mouth clumps of hair loss and a leap beyond depressed, which i have suffered from for over 20yrs. the worst thing is playing with my children that involves leaving my bed is not an option. my weak always tired but cant sleep body and mind gets worse day by day but the doctors cant regulate my inr and im at 10mg now i guess i hoping someone can tell me another option because i feel warfarin is sucking any bit of life out of me rather than helping this is hell..the final "side effect" is my child watching the mother quickly fading away this med is terrible and i have been on many meds and am on quite a few meds but this is by far the worst!Read More Read Less
