Date for ankle surgery
So I’m booked in 22 October for my ankle surgery. My orthopedic surgeon will liaise with my EP about anticoagulation and anything else he needs to know. I’ve filled out the online forms for the hospital and anesthetist. I was interested to see in my anesthetist’s bio that as well as her experience

Given contradictory information
I've just been told by a hematologist that Warfarin does not effect the blood screen outcome. He said that Apixaban can but not Warfarin. An APS specialist advised that I should come off all anti-coagulants if I am to decided to repeat the screen. Not sure who is correct and I find people arguing both

Double Lung Transplant
My uncle got a double lung transplant September 11, 2020. He is currently in ICU. He had to have 2 emergency surgeries due to one of the lungs not working properly. He was put on an ECMO machine and ventilator. 2 days later they put him on dyalisis. I've been visiting him daily. It's so hard to see him

BLOOD THINNER😡
Anticoagulants
, or "blood thinners" as they are popularly known, can keep blood clots from forming or getting bigger, and can therefore help with recovery from heart defects or prevent further complications.

My first AFib episode since diagnosis
I do understand that once you are on
anticoagulants
, AFib episodes are not classed as urgent, but I was told by cardiology at the time of diagnosis that they still need to know as it will have impact on my future treatment plans.

Eye health
I had to share this revelation. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with an unusual type of glaucoma. I've been unable to tolerate any glaucoma medication. Glaucoma is a situation where your eye pressures are too high and it starts to irreversibly destroy the optic nerve, ultimately resulting in total blindness

Me and my big mouth......!
He also explained about how the new
anticoagulants
work,and how they are more effective for most people( not all) than warfarin.New ones work directly on the clotting process,warfarin indirectly. So I am waiting to see what happens now.

Cardiac on top of MBC
Has anyone here had "open heart" surgery? I ask because besides the MILBC I've been living with for over 16 years, I've developed a couple of cardiac issues, a leaky mitral value and a-fib. My cardiologist referred me to a cardiac surgeon hoping one (open heart in which the sternum would be cut thru

Link FND to blood clots??
Did anyone see how those with covid are having neurological disorders, covid is linked to blood clots. They now use blood thinners to treat it, as well as other treatments, I suppose it depends on the patients other health problems. They say there will be an upsurge of Parkinson's disease because of

Osteoarthritis pain, AF and Warfarin
Mornin’ all, Can I have a minute of your time, need some thoughtful comments from you talented guys and gals who may have some experience of Osteoarthritis pain (OA) and AF and Warfarin, especially MarkS and ILowe if you are lurking. My OA pain is now beyond pain, well beyond it, sleep deprivation
