DVT's and Warfarin
I'm 77 and have had 3 DVT's. first in 1965 after 3rd childbirth. I was one of the first 100 women to take birth control pill (100 mg of Enovid) in my city. I received it from Planned Parenthood and had regular one month checkups. I stopped two years later to have third child. I had the first DVT

Supplements while Hypo and Pregnant?
Happy Sunday everyone, Does anyone know what supplements are still safe to take while pregnant and what if any I should add? I am currently taking 5,00IU of Vit D and 400 Methl Folate - I was told to take 500 folic acid due to being 'obese' (on the bmi index) and that I am at a higher risk for gestational

Bleeding
Though my numbers as recently reported are good I've noticed recently that even the slightest scrape bleeds like mad. I also have instances of under skin bleeding ( it's got some fancy name). Just read online that Vitamin K will or might help with clotting. By the way my platelet count is 113x Any

A question of Vitamins
I have been taking a vitamin tablet which includes A D E and K as well as a small amount of other vitamins like various Bs. I was in the audience at a recent presentation and asked the question of whether those with PBC should take A D E & K. The response from the specialist was that those with PSC

Dose increase and no effects yet - how long until I notice improvement?
Hi all, I have been posting here beginning of Jan, after I had been underdosed (TSH level end of december was at 5,61). I have been steadily increasing since End of December, first by 25 LT, to 125 LT. I found a new very capable doctor, a thyroid expert who knows all the facets and doesn't just use

I have a new diagnosis of Hashimoto's. Now what?.. Advice please
Hi all, I wanted to start by saying thank you to all those who have already given me advice. If it wasn't for the information on this forum I am not sure I would have pushed so much to get a diagnosis. After changing GP's, I went in last week with by Blue Horizon results and a speech prepared about

Has anyone tried Vitamin K regimen for their fatigue, pain and aches?
The NHS says Vitamin K has several important functions, for example blood clotting, which helps wounds heal properly. There's some evidence that vitamin K is also needed to help keep bones healthy.

Vitamin K
Does anyone else taking Warfarin eat a lot of dark green veg. Cabbage etc. I do eat these most days . Doctor says if I eat less one week or more than usual the next week it can disrupt the medication. Then I will have to go for a blood test because of the Vitamin K in these veg. I am going to buy

Warfarin.
I have now been prescribed Warfarin instead of Aspirin. Does everyone needs weekly blood tests while taking this ? It sounds complicated about vitamin K . If I eat more green veg one week and a lot less next week , I have to have blood tests. I have heard there are a lot of side affects with Warfarin

Do you drink green tea?
Hi, everyone. I have a question about green tea. Ever since getting breast cancer a number of years ago, I have been drinking green tea in hopes that there might be positive benefits in doing so. When a-fib came in Jan 2016 I stopped drinking it at the advice of my pharmacist. Does anyone on this forum
