Warfarin, cranberries, diet, &c
Attended my first anti-coag. clinic a few weeks ago and was very pleased to find that I do not have to make any major changes to my (vegetarian) diet; just eat normally, BUT avoid drinking Cranberry or Grapefruit juices because they are high in vitamin K and would thus speed up clotting. I was expecting

multivitamins
Read somewhere that as a lady in my 60's I should consider taking a good multivitamin daily--obviously without Vitamin K in it, At the moment I take the dreaded Bisoprolol and Warfarin but nothing else. Not sure what to take. Do have a healthy diet and a fair amount of exercise and any bouts of extreme

On Coumadin-forgot my Vitamin K food yesterday--Can I eat more today??
Yikes, for the first time I totally did not eat anything with Vitamin K yesterday except for grapes. Should eat more than usual today or just go back on track for the rest of the week.

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

Vitamin K what about it?
Hi I have just joined this community due to my 20 year olds sudden and severe (from mid calf to above the thigh clot) is that size unusual? I am interested in some people mentioning Vit k.

Hello, AWOL long time! Update & questions?
Few weeks ago my cardiologist prescribed Amioderone, saying it would increase the chances of my second ablation for PA being effective. It does seem to help the horrid sensations of AF in my chest. But, concerned about side effects. Feeling generally unwell and last 2 days severe pain in my right shoulder

About to be prescribed warfarin for the first time, is there an alternative?. I eat a lot of foods with vitamin K.
This may sound silly but I don't want to have to restrict my diet, it would have to be a really radical change on my part, I eat lots of Watercress, Brocolli, Sprouts etc, basically all the things you are told to eat in small amount or avoid!

Raising INR ??
I know our bodies absorb warfarin differently and that there are many lifestyle factors which will make that even more individual but......... have you had success with any foods or exercise to raise your inr? My hematologist told me that those patients with lupus anticoagulant may find it difficult

Warfarin & meal replacements
Just a warning or reminder to those of you who use Celebrity slim products & are on Warfarin. I occasionally use the protein shakes or soup meal replacements& notice the difference in my INR -- vit K is in the list of ingredients. Be aware if you are struggling to get in range. I self test so am

It's a long story, but I'm as unnerved now as I was at the start.
I slipped into recurrent episodes of fast AF back in August 2013 with no real route cause ever identified. I went through 4 DC cardioversions (and 1 bout of nasty kidney stones) in 3 months. Several combinations of meds were tried after each cardioversion, but only Dronederone actually got things under
