developed a dvt after a flight in june. very fit person running several miles a day. now in oct my dvt has not gone away and im developing more clots despite being on 7.5mg of warfarin a day. i have been told that i have to take it indefinately. no side effects to start with but did have blurring of vision recently that was investigated but nothing found. now my leg is itchy and im developing blood blisters on my hand for no reason. more worried about these blisters than anything. has anyone had anything like this?

Have you had your blood tested for the Factor V Leiden gene? Mt boyfriend just got through a real ordeal with a couple superficial clots that turned into multitudes of DVT and superficial clots. The cause for his is the Factor V Leiden defect.

I was recently diagnosed with DVT and am on 8 mg of Warfarin 5x a week, 6 mg 2x a week. I too have developed superficial clots while on Warfarin. I also have developed some very pain hemorrhoids. I'm not understanding how we can develop superficial blood clots while on Warfarin. I sympathize but have no answers. I guess back to the doc next week. Best wishes.
