I was diagnosed with Afib right before cataract surgery which has been delayed. They immediately prescribed a beta-blocker and then Warfarin. I hate the side effects. I am extremely depressed and have no energy. The co-pays for the routine blood tests are robbing me blind. I feel the doctor did not explain what taking Warfarin would do to me nor did they mention the frequency of blood testing. I’ve never had a blood clot, heart, attack of stroke. I’d rather risk it then taking this rat poison forever. What are my alternatives?

I had multiple PE’s in both lungs and legs in September. I’m afraid to go off Coumadin. I feel I may not be as lucky next time around.

I was in ICU with blood clots in my legs and lungs in 2008. Have been on coumadin since then. 4mg one day and 5mg the next alternating. My INR stays at 2.3 for six weeks then I have it rechecked. I have a vena cava filter in my abdomen and would love to get off coumadin for GOOD. Any help will be appreciated.

I am 60 and have not had a stroke or any heart trouble at all.

Dr. Gordon,

My wife recently underwent surgery to repair her mitral valve. Unfortunately repair was not possible and now she has a mechanical valve. The accepted opinion is that she will take Coumadin (warfarin) the rest of her life. I am trying to challenge that view due to the risks associated with Coumadin, and due to the long term consequences of reduced vitamin K.

Getting her coumadin dose right has been a real challenge. The initial dose of 5mg sent her INR to 8 and led to an ambulance drive to the ER and a week in the hospital. Since then, a dose of 1mg seemed right. Now it looks like 2.5mg may be right for her. It seems clear that she needs much less than the average dose. Some of her other (temporary?) medications also thin the blood, and this was not initially accounted for. I think our coumadin clinic can solve these problems, but I wanted to share this experience because it shows that getting the right dose is a challenge, even with standard coumadin practice with the best facilities.

I have read of several natural alternatives to Coumadin. But as I see it, the problem is knowing you have the right dose. The only test I read about is the INR (PT) test. The only solution I can imagine is to slowly increase her use of natural blood thinners, watch the INR number go up, and reduce the Coumadin dose. More fish oil, with some vitamin E, nattokinase etc., and less coumadin seems like an improvement to me. Eventually, the coumadin dose might be reduced to zero.

This assumes that the INR test is a suitable test regardless of the method used to thin the blood. In other words, any way you get into the goal INR range is OK, as long as you get there. What do you think?

Hello,
My husband is on 100 mg. of Warrfin (sp?) daily. I am desperate to get him off but he is worried about monitoring his blood. Do you know if a Dr. will continue to do “the pin prick” even if he goes off the drug while converting over to a natural blood thinner?

It seems I’m grabbing at straws and feels impossible to do but my father had a stroke about a year ago and was prescribed coumadin. I’m so scared of giving him natural supplements or anything wondering if they will inadvertently increase thinner blood and cause bleeding. Coumadin scares me to death ….. He has additionally been diagnosed with prostate cancer……Oh my; Can we still get him off coumadin……If so..how??

Hello,

I went into the hospital for pneumonia in December. All the inhalers,steroids, etc caused Afib. when I left the hosptital they placed me on coumadin. I have not had any afib since getting off of the inhalers but I am still on the coumadin. I have never had a blood clot or a stroke. I feel I am part of their revolving door since I am having blood test every week. I want off this restrictive stuff but they put the fear of stroke in your mind. I usually register at 1.4-2.4 depending on how good I am at taking the rat poison. I want to replace this stuff with a good diet and supplements. Any suggestions ?
