Platelets & Metastasis
The most common anticoagulant, Warfarin (
Coumadin
) is too dangerous to be used as a prophylactic. It is one of the top drugs responsible for ER visits. Nattokinase is an otc enzyme that mimics plasmin & degrades fibrin - i.e. dissolves clots. But it also inhibits platelet aggregation [2].

IV fluids
I'm on other blood thinners, non rx (high dose fish oil, Nattokinase [this is being used in integrative cardiology in lieu of
coumadin
with much success) I have no access to an informed APS doctor, but my primary is somewhat familiar with it and is helping.

UPDATE: Finally, maybe things will come together
She explained that she felt the safest drug especially for someone like me is
coumadin
as this one has a way to reverse the effects fast if need be.

Lupus factor present after stroke but not with coumadin
I was put on
Coumadin
and my rheumatologist said that the lupus factor would no longer show up on the blood tests while I'm on
Coumadin
. Has anyone else had this happen?

Totally Disgusted
My Primary said my PT/INR is 2.1 but doesn't want to increase the
coumadin
anymore because after the bleed back in December he is too worried. My pulmonolgist said Cat scan looked good, the blood clot I had in my left lung had disolved.

Self testing inr
My
coumadin
nurse is really pushing for it. My Inr has not been theraputic for weeks ) 1.6 - 1.7 ) even with gradually increasing the dose every day.

Coming off Warfarin after long treatment. Unprovoked PE.
However, a year after that, after I had to relocate, another doctor at a
Coumadin
clinic didn't think a reason to stay on it. I was scared and I stayed on it. Fast-forward three years and another doctor is trying to convinced me to come off...After 4 years of taking it!

APS and lung inflammation
It would be better for taking extended travel too, and my
Coumadin
clinic says they have some people request it temporarily for that reason. No blood tests or worry when on that remote island playing Robinson Crusoe for a month (I can dream) -- only a bigger suitcase to hold all those syringes.

Still so confused
He also does not think
Coumadin
is the choice of an anticoagulant for me, but will keep me on the Lovenox until all specialists weigh in with their thoughts.

APS/Hughes and Factor V Leiden
I have been on warfarin (
Coumadin
) for 15 years (after DVT's, multiple PE's and positive Factor V Leiden). I recently was also diagnosed with APS and my rheumatologist has added Plaquenil to the mix.

APS on Plavix...should I switch to Coumdin
Should I ask to switch to
Coumadin
as they tell me I should not take Plavix and nexium together. I do not know how to treat both areas successfully. I know I need some type of blood thinner as my TIAs worsen and I loose my vision more frequently when not on them. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Has anyone tried Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade for IPF?
But options are limited because he is on
Coumadin
, a blood thinner. I've come across the idea that Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade can help improve his breathing abilities and maybe reduce the scarring of the lungs. Anyone with information on this, please let me know. Much appreciated, Christina

Anticoagulation therapy tracking app
I wanted to make something useful that will help other people on warfarin/
coumadin
anticoagulation therapy. Currently it's in early development phase and when I'll have some more info I will gladly share it with you.

Living with PV for 47 years after father diagnosed days earlier.
I was prescribed
Coumadin
for 6 months. In 1993 after my 2nd PE my local doctors became cautious and verified I had PV/Spherocytosis. I started my life prescription of
Coumadin
.

Professor Graham Hughes' Blog October 2015
Mrs Y.C. was therefore started on conventional anticoagulant treatment – warfarin (
Coumadin
). At first, things went well, but soon it was clear to the patient that warfarin wasn’t as good. Where to go from here?

Had my ablation
I'm still on Tikosyn and metoprolol but hope I can go of those also on
Coumadin
. I'm 71 yrs old so hopefully this will give me a good quality of life. Seeing I feel so good now what does everyone think of my chances of this happening ? Thanks Gail ♥️♥️♥️♥️
