Hi Al,
That was the best explanation I have ever heard thanks Al. I wonder if the fact that I metabolize food, caffeine and every thing else really fast should have been a clue I would be the same with Warfarin?
Bonnie I do have the pill box and use it always. I felt silly at first but realize that I tend to forget things easily. I was just really ignorant of how important this all was. After throwing clots I started reading online and it seems to me that if you don?t keep your blood in the right range you WILL throw clots, not might throw clots. Not one Doctor phrased it so strongly, I wish they had.
Randy, I was the same way at the beginning, even got 3 extra days in the hospital because my blood would not thin down. I have no negative effects from the clots at all, thanks. I learned a great many things from the experience, free great learning experiences are rare in life but thanks to some financial aid from the hospital this one was not only free financially but health wise also, and simply the most important of my life. I hope your recovery is going well, you?re so lucky to have found this forum early. I sure could have used some advice early on.
Steve

) I had my right arm start shaking a little, my speech became slurred a little, that?s clot number two. My INR had dropped to 1.2 which my cardio explained was the cause for the clots. She felt I had thrown two clots, the first hit my spine thus no legs, and the second hit my brain. My clots dissipated on their own.
