I stumbled onto this site while trying to find a reason for these...

Welcome to the club of NOT CRAZY PEOPLE!

HI.MY NAME IS KAREN,I ALSO WAS GETTING SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THIS WARFARIN THAT IT EFFECTED MY LIFE SO MUCH.ONE NIGHT I JUST STARTED BLEEDING FROM MY TONGUE.I ATE SPINICH RIGHT AWAY,AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STOPPED.IT WAS THE MOST SCARY THING THAT I EVER EXPERIENCED.I CALLED THE COUMADIN CLINIC AND TOLD THEM THAT I STOPPED TAKING THE COUMADIN.SHE GOT VERY ANGRY AND TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE BIT MY TONGUE OR IT WAS MY TEETH.I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLEEDING FROM MY TEETH AND BLEEDING ALOT,THE WAY I WAS. SHE TOLD ME TO KEEP TAKING THE WARFARIN;WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING MY INR.SHE MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT TO COME IN 3 DAYS.THREE DAYS I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD.I WENT TO A VEIN SPECIALIST,HE TOOK A SONOGRAM AND SAID THAT THE DANGEROUS CLOT WAS GONE.I HAD PRAYED IN THE OFFICE FOR JESUS TO HEAL ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THIS POISON ANYMORE.THE DOCTOR SAID THAT I STILL HAD LITTLE CLOTS BUT IF I LOOSE WEIGHT AND WEAR A STOCKING THEY CAN GO AWAY.HE MUST HAVE SEEN SOMETHING IN MY SONOGRAM THAT SCARED HIM,BECAUSE HE TOLD ME NOT TO TAKE ONE MORE COUMADIN.HE TOLD ME NOT EVEN TO TAKE AN ASPIRIN.APPARENTLY I WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY FROM THE WARFARIN.I AM SERCHING INTO NATURAL WAYS TO HELP MYSELF.VITAMIN E,FOR INSTANCE THINS THE BLOOD.THAT IS WHY YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH WARFARIN.WARFARIN DAMAGES THE BODY,AND THE GOOD HEALTHY FOODS THAT CAN HEAL YOUR BODY;YOU ARE N OT ALLOWAD TO EAT OIN WARFARIN.I AM NOT A DOCTOR,SO I HOPE THAT YOU LOOK INTO NUTRITION AND PERHAPS AN ALTERNATIVE DOCTOR WHO USES NATURAL HERBS AND VITAMINS INSTEAD IF WARFARIN.THE INTERNET IS FULL OF HELP.

You may want to have your thyroid checked by your family doctor given your symptoms.

Have you ever looked into supplements?? I believe cod liver oil or krill oil naturally thins your blood. check the website and sign up to receive e news letter mrecola.com. Dr. Mercola has a wealth of info. My heart goes out to all of those who feel medication is the only way--there are other ways too..I believe in a mix of both...good luck.

Hi, 2/2008 I too; was diagnosed with pulmonary emblomisms in my lungs.and have been placed on 5 then 7.5 now 10 mg of warfin sodium. with in 6 months I am unable to wear most of my cloths. I don't have money to buy more. I will strave to death trying to follow a warfin deit. It requires so much of the medication to get my inr pass 1.0. I am beinning to wonder if there is a natural remedy that the Doctor's or science refuse to tell us. I wonder; are we experimints for a study to find a cure. Why are most medication causing more harm then good? what is going on in this world that science has brough on a natural desater upon mankind that they can't correct. people are either being daignosis with upper respiraitory infection or pulumonary embolism. This remind me of the time mention a few years back where there was a saying that "we all will need mask before it's all said and done done to air pollution.
