I have one from Duke....and I'll tell ya, this stuff is dangerous!

Hi i am 17, i need to take warfarin to cuz of 3 trombosies thath i had. They said i need to take this for the rest of my life and i dont want to. How did u go from warfarin cuz i want to and if u ate a lot of vegetables whit vitamin K when u went from warfarin and did u get heparin when u stop using warfarin cuz i dont want to be on warfarin for the rest of my life and any information would help. Thanks

@@urhstudio8301 If it keeps you alive, you need to keep taking it. It's not about what you want. I would prefer not to be on Warfarin for the rest of my life, but if I stop talking it, I will have a stroke.

Trev O Donnell I still feel that way when I go to the clinic, but I feel better when I leave knowing my numbers are good. Please don’t let anxiety stop you from getting your inr checked. The test takes like 2 minutes.

Just eat regular eat vitamin k, if you don't eat vegetables. They can't adjust your level of warfarin. Eat consistent. Let them adjust the blood thinners to your diet. Don't adjust your eating too the thinner.

Hey man be careful with this medicine. My grandpa died due to taking warfarin and suffered brain hemorrhage and couldn't get surgery because his blood was too thin. Im not trying to scare you but warn you. You need to try to talk to your doctor for alternatives. Hope you it all goes well for you.

I'm on the drug because of Atrial Fibrillation following repair of my mitral valve. I'm hopeful that eventually the afib can be controlled via medicine. At the moment, I'm in and out of sinus rhythm while taking metoprolol. It's scary, knowing the drugs possible side effects, but so far I haven't had any bleeding problems. Small cuts do take a little longer to stop bleeding, but a septic pencil works for those. I haven't had any discoloration of urine or stools, or bruising. My Dr. has ordered a self test machine for me so I won't have to be tested in the office every few weeks. This is a good idea today with the current pandemic, plus it makes keeping your INR level correct easier. About the only thing I've cut out of my diet is Kale, which isn't something I've had often anyway. I also now avoid spinach. I asked about beer, and was told to limit consumption to 2 a day (!). Since I rarely have more than 2 a week, I guess I'm under the radar on that! (1 12-16 oz beer = 1 glass of wine = 1 shot of whisky BTW).

It's been 2 years. How have you got on?

I too work on cars for fun. I think with thick mechanics gloves we may not be as limited. Atleast that's the hope.

im 22 and about to get a mechanic valve and im a bit concerend. Why did you have to stop? Im also worried about having to change my lifestyle. @@Fyxxterzc

How are you doing now? I'm taking it also.

@barabas688 im fine. They made it seem like i was going to be barred from any fun stuff. I still ride. I still work on cars. I bleed a little more. Thats about it. I do try to wesr heavy duty gloves when working on cars. They have saved me a couple times. Not gonna lie.

​@@mr.b3168That's great news! I'm taking it for a clotting problem after a leg vein procedure. Really a big mess. I hope it works as well as yours does

23 now and taking it since 2012

I m also 25 Taking it since 2017

@@prabhatsuryawanshi4428 My comment is a couple of years old now. I Just turned 27.. I started taking it in 2018. At the time, I was 22, not far off 23.

For specific medical advice, we suggest reaching out to a doctor. If you would like to request an appointment at one of our hospitals, please call 888-872-1408.

Warfarin stops you from suffering blood clots. Don't stop taking it unless your doctor says so.

Hi Jerome, Unfortunately, because each person’s medical situation is different, we are unable to provide treatment recommendations or second opinions via this form of communication. For any specific questions about your diet, we recommend reaching out to your doctor.

It's Vitamin K you need to look out for. Vitamin K is what allows the blood to clot. It can interfere with Warfarin. The best thing to do is Just to keep your diet the same.

Steve Phillips ..easily generated pain with medicine and get referal kickbacks from accomplices...?

I was told you can just have 2 to 3 beers while taking it

I was warned not to drink alcohol at all!😮

Generally speaking, you should be ok to have a couple as long as you don't get yourself Pissed. That could fuck up your INR. But every case is different, so ask your doctor.

@Maria KowalczykNo, I dont believe they even mentioned that. Maybe due to my age.

@Maria Kowalczyk UK, and around Nov 2019 i had what i thought was pneumonia but now turned out to be covid, i was extremely ill and wasnt moving for ages. Which ended up with me having extreme pain in my left leg, i had an ultrasound scan and they saw the clot. Sorry if this was too long to read

@Maria Kowalczyk I only had one but they said it was around 3 inches long, they told me i could have been amputated if left untreated. Atm im still under a surgeons watch because technically they dont know why i had it but believe it to be caused by covid. They tell me that my femoral artery is scarred and still is struggling to pump blood through. Again sorry for the message being long.

Yeah supposedly its been around since before aug 2019, thats why technically they dont know if it was covid that caused it. Anyway i hope your all better with yours.

@Maria Kowalczyk anyway its 2am for me so ive gtg to sleep. Goodnight.

You Can't donate blood if you're taking medication that affects your blood.

@@1000000man1 Thanks

@Maria Anne how u mean it can kill u. I had chronic deasise, i somehow manage to control it whit weed, but cuz i had tormbosies in my legs while chronic deasies they gave me warfarin. I am good now but i dont want to take this for rest of my life, i have some feeling like this is killing me in a long run and now i cant go from warfarin or i get trombose, if u know anyone who might stop eating it and manage to get their health under control or if anyone did it please tell me. I realy belive thath whit nature i can live whitout this somehow.

@Maria Anne Clots kill. This medication keeps you alive. I would be dead now if not for it.

@@urhstudio8301 Warfarin is NOT killing you over time. That is paranoia, probably from the weed. How ironic that you think a life saving medication is bad, but don't mind smoking something that is farmed in cat urine. If you have a long term medical condition that gives you blood clots, anticoagulants will keep you alive. It's that simple.

This is a bad idea. If you are likely to suffer more clots in the future, you should keep taking the medication. It will prevent future clots.

@@1000000man1 weed helped me a lot and its not farmed in cat urine. i have it at home whitout weed doctors would cut my intestines cuz of my chronic deasise

need? Generated by prescription medicine from your doctors rumor has it?

I've been told that if you are on warfarin you can't donate blood. The problem is that the drug is in your plasma.
