i been on warfarin since august 08 - its now end of feb 09, i have not noticed any serious side effects apart from blood in nose when wake up and snotter for the first time each day (excuse that term) . i have been sitting under newly installed lighjt at work and find it to be very hot on my head... everyone else says its not, but i cant stay there after ten minutes... its mildly uncomfortable.. and it got to thinking that maybe warfarin can effect the sun and the taking of the tablets, im on 6mg a day and i have heart problems, heart failure and cardiomyopathy, i would like to here from any one that has problems with sun...... and after how long hair loss and teeth problems came after taking it - im only 24 but worry about it thank you for your time i also get fatigue

I just posted a response/question to sun exposure and itchy rash and welts on my scalp, neck and hands where the skin is exposed. I have been on warfarin for 5 weeks. The 2 times I was in the sun for a good period of time this happened.The nurse was unable to come up with direct cause due to warfarin. I am a serious flower gardener and spend alot of time outdoors and have never developed the symptoms before. The only thing different is the warfarin since my ankle surgery. And yes, my scalp feels hot. I am unsure if our symptoms are related. I am 50 years old
