Thy3 diagnosis
My thyroid function has improved since the stroke with Tsh going up from 0.02 (during the anticoagulant treatment with Apixaban and various injections and formulation taken because of severe side effects of these
anticoagulants
) to 0.67 after changing to Gingko Biloba as a natural blood thinner.

Vitamin results at last
Hi all, I posted my thyroid blood tests back in January, but have been trying to get my vitamins tested via the surgery with no success, so I've just forked out for a Blue Horizon test and the results and ranges are as you can see above with the 'normal' protocols of no Levo for 24 hours, no biotin for

B12 tablets better than injection!
Hi, after taking Hydroxocobalaminacetat 1000ug I.M. for over a year once every 12 days I decided to switch to tablets. Having been put on an anticoagulant for Afib I was suffering from pain and bruising at the injection sites. I started taking 1000ug Methylcobalamin standard tablets each day and within

Colitis and blood thinners don't mix
I had a heart attack in September and was put on ticagrelor and after a month started to have problems with my bowel and went into a colitis flair which thankfully going up the steroid ladder brought me back to normal. Sadly I started to have problems again and when I saw my Cardiologist for the first

Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess the reduction in stroke risk from this procedure compared to taking modern
anticoagulants
like Apixaban over the long term. 1500 will have Watchman 1500 will be in the control group and continue with
anticoagulants

Post Ablation AFib episodes .. frustrating
I had my Ablation about 3 1/2 months ago. I did not have any AFib recurrence that I'm aware of during the blanking period and was taking a beta blocker, a rhythm med, and anticoagulant. Was a bit rougher blanking than expected with early fever, regular headaches and low energy etc but no AFib! Hooray

Asymptomatic
Hi, Just out of curiosity ........... at the time of or around the time of diagnosis of any one of a myriad types of AF has anyone been described as " asymptomatic". Further, what ranking of medic used this term, i.e. EP, Cardiac Consultant or a bog standard Dr. Further again, are you aware if this

Clexane and aspirin post 12 weeks
Hi everyone, I'm currently 9+6 and was wondering for those taking Clexane and aspirin, how long did you take those medicines? My clinic is talking about weaning me off everything from week 12 but I feel like I've seen women are taking the blood thinners later? Advice appreciated! Thanks x

NSAIDs
Hello All! I am writing to ask about the received wisdom of NSAIDs in this group... I have wicked foot and Achilles problems and it is possible an NSAID would be helpful. But apparently some are linked with a 76% higher probability of having Afib! A cursory glance at google tells me that Naproxen

Lupus Anticoagulant testing while on Warfarin
I have searched the group but I do not seem to find what I need to know. If your hematologist insist on testing for Lupus Anticoagulant how many days must you stop warfarin before the test? The hematologist says that the DVRTT test works without stopping Warfarin. But I have read many times that while

Feeling Cold
I know it has been extremely cold and most of us are being extra careful with the use of gas and electricity since the price hikes. But I still seem to feel the cold a lot more than others. I was wondering if its to do with taking blood thinners clopidogrel ?

New Study into the Possibility of Reducing Anticoagulation
, but hopefully younger AF sufferers can look forward much more positively to an individualised approach to their use of
anticoagulants
. And think of the improvement that will occur in Apple Watches and other self-monitoring health devices in these next possibly 10 years.

Sudden exhaustion. help?!?
Hello all... I was on levothyroxine (t4) AND Liothyronine (t3) but had constant heart reactions so chosen to return to levo only. This was in July 2022. I had been on 75mcg T4/5mcg T3 for some years. I had to lower and then raise slowly because of my overreaction to raises, it was all going well

Shockwave Therapy By Chiropractor
I just went to a Chiropractor for treatment of agonizing pain in my upper back. He wants to treat me with shockwave therapy but I have concerns of this affecting my atrial fibrillation. I am presently only taking an anticoagulant, and no other meds for my AF. Has anyone had this type of treatment
