Rivaroxaban
Being put on a trial of Rivaroxaban. Have done a little research and here’s hoping this will help me. Been told no INR testing etc. But cannot find much info to tell me if it is as effective as warfarin??

Shortness of breath and chest tightness.
I'm really glad I stumbled on this page as most people seem to think that these symptoms I'm having are in my head or a spiritual problem. I've been having shortness of breath and chest tightness for the past 4 months, at first it was scary, I thought it was my heart having issues, but after seeing

Desparate to quit smoking.
I am so addicted to cigs/nicotine and I am in major crisis. I have received the nicotine patch and the nicotine mist. I try to use these products and I have an allergic reaction. The patch leaves red welts and the mist closes my throat. I am in dispair, I have to quit! Any suggestions would be greatly

This site is for various forms of cannabis adjunctive therapy. I live in MN where cannabis therapy has just been legalized. It's not just smoke some weed and hope for the best. The main treatment seems to be cbd oil, a cannabis derivative, (non high giving), and to be more effective add the THC part

I don’t know where or how to begin to describe my journey, because after reading the many posts here, seems I may have been battling more than I realized. Over three years ago I started having benign positional vertigo; however, I started to feel dizzy throughout the day. Then, I started experiencing

Am I taking too much tumeric root?
I have been taking tumeric root for two years and wondering if there could be adverse issues. I take about a 2 inch root blended with ginger root, cayenne pepper, ceylon cinnamon, cucumber, lemon with rind, almond butter, kale or other leafy greens and coconut water. It makes about 12 ounces of smoothie

Xarelto or also known as rivaroxaban
Good morning, at the advice of the cardiologist my father started this new medication to replace the warfarin. His INR is now 1.51 instead of 2.5 that used to be with warfarin. The doctor advised that the range with rivaroxaban is different to the warfarin and 1.51 is the perfect norm. Does anyone have

Trametinab Diaries
Some of you may remember I posted a few weeks ago that I was on a break from the trial drug trametinab for recurrent low grade serous ovarian cancer. I had been taken off the trial because my echocardiogram had revealed that my ejection fraction had dropped from 60% to about 50%. I was off the trial
