warfarin

[Kuba19]

I take warfarin due to my heart operation few years ago, the now I have mechanical valve and I take 5mg of warfarin a day everyday

I would love to have a tattoo sleeve

Would there be any problems with that ?

Other than heart valve issues, do you have APS? Probably check with your doctor.

nope i dont have APS but i had a storke last year due to forgeting to take my warfarin for 4 days in a row

Yes, I also wonder if you have got APS as this is a site for that autoimmun illness.

Hope you will sort it out.

Hi Kuba

Sorry to hear about your stroke.

We are not medically trained personnel here so we are unable to advise you about tattoos. You would need to see your GP.

As Kerstin has pointed out, this is a forum for persons suffering from APS/Hughes Syndrome, not a general medical forum. You may find a forum for persons with mechanical heart valves.

Aloha. ...

I recommend

This site is helpful to me...I had mechanical aortic valve replacement in 2014.

I have APS and a mechanical mitral valve. Docs told me no more tattoos. Risk of infection from needles plus with thinned blood the designs don't heal right.
