Professor d Cruz said 20 years they would put you on warfarin but not now. So he recommended seeing a hematologist with a interest in aps. Just curious what else is out there in replace of warfarin? First I took it as I shouldn't be on anything as I have never had a blood clot, I was put on it by my Dr because I have involuntary movements and I wanted to see if it helps. But I think he just meant warfarin and discuss another option
