Blood thinners

[Chaddy44]

Has anyone been turned away from the corona virus test centres because your on blood thinners. Went for the antibody test and they said that it doesn't work if you have blood thinners

First I’ve heard of that but what do I know?

Oh dear.....

Do you mean warfarin or any anticoagulant? What are you on?

(I hope that isn’t so with immunity test) . I had a phone consultation with both my lipid Cholesterol and Haematology professor Drs instead in clinic . For cholesterol check and APS Hughes Sticky Blood Syndrome . Age 70 . They both said take your meds every day . Not the worst meds to be on during this CV19 attack. Because of the thinning aspects of both meds and the anti inflammatories in the Xarelto blood thinners . I also took a turmeric cap. I have stated in a sinus allergy hayfever med Litatadine ( first prescribed by an A n E Dr . I have taken a 1000 mg Vit D . To strengthen lung membrane . High grade Liposomal VIT C . Zinc and L lysine to keep herpes at bay. PLUS immune boost natural products . recommended by natural

supplements Expert extract Jap mushroom and wild oregano . Plus calcium , COD liver oil . I have felt well for 2 months of stressful pre lockdown and lockdown in central London. April being the worst pollen hayfever month . So far so good touch wood . Best I have ever been . I have also been inhaling pink Himalayan dry salt in a nasal pot .i run an air purifier 24/7 . Not out in pollution or pollen ( AT all) has helped I guess Prior to lockdown I wore rubber plastic respirator mask ( from hardware ) this helped sinus enormously . To help sinus and lungs through it . Very harmless regime . My sinus is my weak spot . I have been lucky that the low dose statin and Xarelto agrees with me . My 6 monthly blood tests for Sticky blood have shown low levels , in 6 months another test . The Professor said I can reduce from 20 mg to 10 mg .surprise . So keep on your meds . Supplement with natural and vitamins . Think good thoughts and don’t stress. 🙏🏻 A tiny weeny nip of tipple , if any anxiety crept in , not every day . Just to warm the cockles .
