My oh my, good news, neurologist gave OK to start Coumadin....
I have concerns, because it is not to treat Hughes, bit because of, lupus anticoagulant and high homocystene in blood labs, plus history of stroke and TIAs. So, I am thinking whatever gets me to being on a blood thinner......... Should I still seek expert on Hughes Syndrome, or see how it goes,.????

It takes 2-3 days for Warfarin/Coumadin adjustments to affect my INR. How long does it take for a bowl of green vegetables to affect INR?

Has anyone had problems with marevan?
Recently, I had to take Marevan for a couple of weeks because
Coumadin
was unavailable in Petropolis and Rio de Janeiro's drugstores. I thought maybe if I took Marevan in the same dosage of
Coumadin
, I would minimize the risks of new clotting. I could never be more wrong.

How long does it take for foods to affect your INR?
I have figured out that it takes 2-3 days for my body to respond to an increase in
Coumadin
, but I'm wondering how long it takes for foods to affect your INR. For example, if I were to sit down and eat a huge spinach and Kale salad, how long would it take for my INR to drop? :)Michelle

Are there any restrictions or concerns with exercising with APS?
I finally received a diagnosis 2 months ago, and now that I'm on
Coumadin
, I feel so much better! For the past 2 years, though, I have done next to nothing physically. I am able to walk and cook and take care of myself now, but I am weak and need to get my strength and endurance back.

Vitamins & Other Supplements
I don't want to onstantly be asking my doctor for meds when I really don't wnat to take presciptions unless necessary, like my
coumadin
and things for high blood pressure. I just would love to know if any of you go this route? Thanks!

What affects your INR level when taking Coumadin/Warfarin?
I know that vitamin K and spinach are no-no's. What else might affect it? I'm new and learning! Thanks! :)Michelle in CA

Diagnosed in 1995
I've since had 2 small strokes & 1 major due to
coumadin
being high. Was sent to UNC Chapel Hill for brain surgery but they were able to avoid it. That's my story. Oh, I could add more but it's already long enough. I hope you enjoyed my story, sorry it took me so long to write it out.

So to my suprise in 2004 when I had a repeat MRA it showed the stenosis was completely gone and that area had recanalized due to the
Coumadin

Another trip to the Emergency room gone bad...
(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) I explained what my doctor was thinking that
coumadin
doesnt work for me...
coumadin
failure...and he said that everything looks ok. I am so beside myself. He said looks like my leg just fell asleep more than it usually might.

I can HARDLY stand this anymore! At a loss right now....
I am waiting to switch from
coumadin
to Lovenox injections because I am in supposed "
coumadin
failure". I am waiting because the expense of Lovenox is ridiculously high and I have no insurance.

I want to cry
So now they have me listed as
Coumadin
Failure. Well I dont know if
Coumadin
has failed me....I dont think I have enough of it! In the US self monitoring isnt commonplace and my doc wont allow it.
