I have recently been diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary
embolism
and currently taking warfarein. Into my second week. I am not getting any straight answers to some simple questions and was wondering if anyone could help.

Warfarin Alternatives
I'm currently on warfarin but in the very early stages of considering one of the alternatives. My first question arises from the fact that dabigatran is taken twice a day, apixaban twice a day but, as I understand it, rivaroxaban is only once a day? Given that 'once a day' is surely more convenient

Embolism
is very real and lengthy laced with much pain. I feel like the heaviness in my heart is leaving from carrying the wonder that comes with this disease. I hope to have a full report with more details for everyone to share.

Conflicting GP advice
I had a few clots 20+years ago , was diagnosed as having APS on warfarin for 5+ years. Then consistently tested negative for all clotting disorders. I came off warfarin and was just on Aspirin no problems for years. Have felt a bit 'off colour' for a few months and at the beginning of July discovered

Lung function tests?
I have stage 1 very mild bullous emphysema, I had a lung volume test in 2012 and 2013 should I have one every year, I had a ct scan back in 2011 and nothing since. After my 2013 lung volume test doc said I was caught very early and since I have a good fev of 79% to 81% there was no need for follow ups

Protein s deficiency
Hi Was diagnosed with DVT and been on Heparin (now off) and Warfarin for nearly two months out of a three month treatment time. There was no obvious reason for the DVT and all the main factors were ruled out and I'm an active 36 yr old. My GP sent me for a lot of blood tests and I believe they took about

19 years old and has PCOS
My doctor discussed about going on the pill but when I showed her the recent history with my mum having blood clots as she recently had a pulmonary
embolism
during Easter 2013. My doctor wanted to be sure so I went for more tests at the local hospital, two trips for blood tests.

Thrombophilia
I've recently been diagnosed with it and have been told that it explains my stroke when I was 23, DVT's and Pulmonary
embolism
. I had my DVT and PE last November and had Clexane for a while and am now on Warfarin. My INR is very off whack and jumps from 1.6(ish) to 3.6+ and it's irritating me.

Coming off blood thinners before birth.
I am now 35 weeks pregnant and have been on 150mg aspirin and fragmin throughout pregnancy. Baby is growing well and so the plan is to come off my aspirin at 36+2 but keep on the fragmin except the day I have my cervical stitch out at 36+4 then induce at 38+2. So in total the max I will be off my aspirin

New drugs against warfarin
I know this question has been asked before, but how many are on the new drugs? I would love to know the outcome of these drugs as I want to come off warfarin as they cannot tell me conclusively if I have AF but have stuck me on warfarin anyway. I am fed up with the diet aspect and also the bloods taken

Ptosis (drooping eyelid)
Ruled out TIA, stroke, diabetes, vascular inflammation, infection and waiting on results for Myasthenia gravis (thought unlikely) and
embolism
. And I am told it could be just ageing. All the above was considered urgent because I was anticoagulated.

I'm taking rivaroxaban. My my urine is dark brown with traces of blood. What does it mean?
I had pulmonary
embolism
3 weeks ago. I'm on the first 21 days of rivaroxaban. Two days ago my urine turned dark brown with traces of blood. I take gabapentin (neurontin) for lower back pain (1200 mg/3x a day). Is there any interactions?

Converting from Warfarin to Rivaroxaban
My GP said stop Warfarin for two days then start the Rivaroxaban. My last INR was 1.7 and from what I have read it seems you should start Rivaroxaban when INR is 2-3. Any thoughts?

Possible misdiagnosis-3rd time lucky?
On my initial visit last week he seemed quite confident in telling me I don't have Emphysema, but have a pulmonary
embolism
in one of my lungs due to a blood clot from deep vein thrombosis.

I started Warfarin in March and live in New York. I don't love the testing and diet restrictions. What are the generic alternatives?
I am becoming aware of Fragmin through this site. Is Fragmin a generic form of Heparin? Are there any alternatives in generic form that do not require testing and diet restrictions? I have APS and am being tested for Lupus. I had a stroke in March. I am ambulatory, initially lost my speech but have
