Bowel resection symptoms and conditions

Needless to say, Warfarin almost killed me. I was put on it after an apendectomy gone wrong which then turned into a bowel resection. In between the two surgeries I ended up with pulmonary emboli. I was put on Warfarin and also had a vena cava fiter put in. I'm a 40 year old female and have never felt so sick in my life. I was exhausted, constantly throwing up and had chronic diarrhea. Also my INR elevated to an 8 after constant vomiting causing the need for a plasma transfusion. Ugh! I kept telling my Drs. that I thought it was the coumadin but no one seemed to listen. As a result of my last hospitalization (7 admissions since 12/5/2008) they finally took me off of the coumadin (Warfarin) and now I am a totally new woman. The stuff took a week to get out of my system but thankfully I feel great. I hope this is helpful to anyone suffering.

I went into the hopital for a bowel resection. They gave me Reglan after the surgery. Within in a day. I had strange feelings, restlessness, edgy and could not stop moving. I walked the hopital for hrs and hrs. One nurse said I was having anxiety attacks and gave me ativan. They released me after 9 days. I was back in another hospital that same night with a bowel obstruction. They pumped me with more reglan. I became very shakey and felt like I was going to fall apart. I stayed in that hospital for 19 days. When they released me I had to go back and see my original surgeon. I told her I thought the reglan was doing strange things to me. She just increased my ativan and told me I had to take it for at least 3 more mos or I could end up back in the hospital with another bowel obstruction. I started to have head shaking episodes about once a week but I still thought it was anxiety. Then after being off reglan for 1yr, I was still having attacks only every night. I saw a neurologist and she said I had permanent damage to my brain from taking Reglan and now I"m on Parkinsons medicine and ativan to try and control the symptons. I will never be the same and would not recommend this drug to anyone.
