Been on coumadin for a year, horrible medication. Have aches all over, legs, shoulders, back, always tired, want to be off this med. Was taking alternative meds previously...nattokinase, bilberry which are blood thinners but are also SAFE. Then I had no leg pain, no muscle pain. I now take vitamin e and fish oil with the coumadin, no interaction since I've been using them for a long time and are more beneficial than the coumadin as far as I'm concerned. What I need is a naturopathic doctor, but they are hard to find, regular mds have no clue about supplements..all they want to do is increase your prescriptions. Doctors try to scare people telling them they'll have a stroke without coumadin, but have no solution on how to prevent stroke, etc. without drugs.

jennyjay . . . you are in the RIGHT track . . .I hope you will be able to find a naturopathic . . a dr. who treats health issues . . . instead of drugs that cause side effects. I also had drs. that used the threaten/scare tactics when I didn't want to take drugs . . .VERY SAD. Unfortunately, most drs.all they know is to push drugs . . . . . instead of natural products/alternatives. . .good luck.
