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

embolism

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

Professor Graham Hughes' May Blog 2014
J.L.’s sister, four years younger, had been diagnosed with Hughes syndrome, having had a DVT and pulmonary
embolism
, and a previous history of two miscarriages – and a long history of migraine. Mrs. J.L. herself had not had any thrombosis, and had not had any pregnancies.

Waiting for my test results
I also have scar tissue in lungs likely due to pulmonary
embolism
(never smoked). Yet, the doctors have never caught a clot in action or saw a DVT in me on a scan.

Does anyone know if Dual Flow Concentrators are available?
I have my own from the NHS and it could happen that my wife 'may' also need one following a pulmonary
embolism
and I would prefer a single machine with 2 outputs rather than two noisy ones.

Low Pulse Rate
I was diagnosed A/F during 2007 and was put immediately put on warfarin which was changed to Rivaroxaban four months ago. I am 73 years old. I suppose like a lot of my fellow sufferers I am accustomed to waking up in the morning feeling OK but as the day progresses energy levels tend to dissipate.

Has anyone suffered a DVT while on warfarin?
I was diagnosed with APS (and lupus) after a DVT presented itself and blood tests were taken. I have been on warfarin ever since. Things have been fine - with the ups and downs that we all experience, but I now fear I have another clot (not diagnosed). What were peoples experiences if you have in
