Can low INR cause depression/mood swings/anxiety?
Hi, with the help of my clinic nurse we are nearly on track with getting the correct warfarin dose to get my INR within its target range (2.5-3.5), however my husband and I have noticed when it drops below the range I am depressed, anxious and moody. It's really causing problems. Before I started warfarin

Pulmonary embolism
Hi this week I have been diagnosed with 2 pulmonary embolisms one on each lung. I am 29 years old & this was caused from the contraceptive pill. I am still in shock that I have these & don't know how long recovery will be or anything else apart from the medication I'm on. I was only in hospital 24 hours

Rivaraxoban
So.....I have Hughes with very high levels of antibodies. I was on Fragmin injections which I got on with very well. However, after a consultation in October it was agreed that I would try Rivaraxoban and see how I got in with that. I was initially apprehensive when I saw the long list of possible side

Anti phospholipid antibody with Hemorrhagic disorder
I have a rare blood disorder and I inject Arixtra(Fondaparinux) at this time. Heparin and Agatraban both had the opposite effect on me. Due to the expense, my doctor has recommended possibly switching to Rivaroxaban. I am a little nervous to change what I know is working. Camie

Well I'm one day on now. Wasn't half as bad as expected more uncomfortable than painful and if it became too bad I just told them and morphine and medazalam were given.

MRI Scan - T2 Hyperintense white matter lesions reported
My recent MRI Scan reported T2 Hyperintense white matter lesions in the frontal region. Anyone else have any experience of this finding, and willing to share information please? Also, recent A & E admission with chest pain and breathlessness. D-Dimer test elevated, so was given a VQ scan, no PE found

New and starting medication tonight
My health issues started about 4 years ago when I got whooping cough in 2010. Got it again almost one year later in 2011. Never recovered from the second episode. Diagnosed with lung disease within 6 month of the second case. Lung volume ranges from 59% to about 70%, seems to be worse when I am sick.

Pulmonary Effects of Tobacco Vaporizer?
I have switched from cigarettes to a tobacco vaporizer, which is not the same as an e-cigarette in that it uses tobacco leaves rather than e-juices/liquids. I use approximately one cigarette worth of leaves on a daily basis. This device heats the leaves up to a max of 210 degrees celsius, thus not causing

Rivaroxaban
Hi, I have been injecting Fragmin since August this year and I get on well with them, however I am about to be swapped over to Rivaroxaban. I have just picked them up and read the side effects! Wow! Does anybody else have any experience of this drug and if so how do you find it? Any horrible side effects

Pulmonary Hypertension
I have just found this community and don't know whether I belong to this one or not. I have Limited Systemic Sclerosis which has now progressed to Pulmonary Hypertension. There aren't that many in this country that suffers with it, only around 6 to 8,000 in the UK. It affects the pulmonary artery

young people with COPD
I've been thinking about why there is a new younger demographic diagnosed with COPD. What has changed in the last 20 years with culture? In regards to marijuana in culture, the 60's and 70's did not have high pressure sodium lights which enabled a whole new way of growing pot hydroponically. The 60's

Spontaneous Referral!
Just had to share this as slightly excited - my Rhuematologist has spontaneously asked if I would like her to arrange for me to be seen by Dr David D'Cruz!! It may have something to do with the fact that I had just emailed her to say that I want to inject Heparin if my INR goes below 2.5 rather than

New Inhaler
Just been to see my Consultant today and I was offered a different inhaler to use instead of my Tiotropium. It is called Aclidinium and is to be used twice a day. Have any of you used this? I have been given one which will last me for 30days. If I am happy with it I just need to ask my GP to prescribe

Off warfarin 3 weeks early
Hi I have written a couple of posts on here, had dvt right calf and put on warfarin for 12 weeks. I had a horrendous time with this medication and never managed to get it changed, even though coag clinic were happy to monitor me on sinthrom. I was bounced back and forth and doc wanted it in writing.

An update, two and a half years on.
As some of you know, back in February 2012, I had 3 Pulmonx valves fitted to the upper lobe of my right lung, as a means to achieve a reduction in lung volume. The op was an enormous success, giving me a huge increase in my capacity to live a life. Basically my FEV1 increased from 16% to 32%. I've written
