Sorry I should have asked you what are you going on instead
Worth asking what the risk vs benefits are ? I'm staying on warfarin because my blood clot is on my brain and I don't want to take any risks. Scans may show its "still there" (as recently explained by neuro team) but shouldn't get worse when on anticoagulant. ......almost don't care why I got it.... as a few simple things already ruled out but other tests would require coming off warfarin.....would prefer to keep safe.
