THANK YOU ALL !!!!!

I just wanted to thank all of you amazing, brave people who have given me a new lease on life. My INR is being raised and my Warfarin dose has been doubled to 15mg daily. I am so optimistic as I am already feeling better - my head aches are amazingly better - still get the odd one but not nearly as intense and definitely not all the time. I cannot remember when last I woke up without a head ache!

In a way I do feel a little angry because something as simple as raising my INR could have changed my whole life. If my Doctor had just done a little research he would have discovered it years ago. My illness cost me my marriage - I met my husband when I was 15 and we married 5 yrs later and were married for 25 years. Unfortunately my inability to keep up with him lead to us leading increasingly separate lives- he is a marathon runner, very social and a real get up and go person. He just could't cope with a continuously sick wife and through his running club met some one else who could.

This has been devastating as you can imagine as I am now alone to deal with my health issues. I have 2 wonderful daughters who are very good to me but neither of them live in the same city as me.

I have almost given up on life as I see nothing positive to look forward to. Now at least I may be able to live without constant pain, thanks to all of you wonderful people, I am just so sad it came so late.

Thank you all so very much for all your wonderful support and advise.

Keep strong and fighting the good fight.

I am so happy for you. I am thinking about asking my rhuemy to up my warfarin. I have had a headache for three months along with a few migraines and I don't much appreciate it... I can't imagine what you have been through so sorry for all of those pains... So glad things are looking up. Best wishes love ya Susan
