I'm a 36 year old female who survived a DVT and pulmonary embolism. I've been on warfarin for one year. I was diagnosed with a protein c deficiency. (most likely congenital). I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my PT\INR in between 2 and 3. My Doctor is a real jerk. I'm looking into see- ing a different one. Anyway, my symptoms are: lightheadedness, hair loss, weight gain(I'm hungry 24\7),fatigue,numbness in my hands and feet, hot flashes,redness on my nose and cheeks, and some kind of rash on my right ankle, tachycardia,headaches, and blurred vision. I never thought life could suck this bad. I've been taking anywhere between 7.5mg to 15m.g\day. Oh yeah I forgot to mention the worse side effect of all: My period for 7 to 10 days. The 3rd and 4th day being unbearable to take. Of course my Doctor says your not bleeding to death because you're not passing clots. What an ___!!! My sympathy's to all of you.
