I'm 61 years old, female. I recently went for a routine PE and when my labs came back, the doctor said "we need to watch your WBC". I was surprised and decided to do my research after looking at the details of the lab report. I almost wish I hadn't, because it wasn't just my WBC that was high

I have been taking warfarin since 2013 and I am now 76 years old. My warfarin monitoring shows that I am mostly within INR range set for me by the anti-coagulation team at my local hospital. I am considering transferring to one of the new anticoagulants (DOACs , NOACs) I hesitate because I have he'd

Hair Loss on Warfarin
Hi all, I don’t post very often. I’ve been taking warfarin since February 2021 after having two mechanical valves fitted. I know that I will need to see my doctor about this, but I am losing my hair, and it’s noticeable now, especially at the front. Does anyone else have this? What can be done to

Paxlovid with Eliquis
What is the latest advice on taking Paxlovid for Covid if you are on an anticoagulant? Do you need to stop it or just be extra careful of bleeding or not take Paxlovid at all? I know you need to stop your statin drug while on it.

Hydroxycarbamide
Hello, I was diagnosed with ET and JAK2+ last week. Have started aspirin and given information re Hydroxy. I’m not sure whether I want to start Hydroxy as I have no risks, apart from high cholesterol which Haematologist did mention. Just wondering if anyone has delayed starting Hydroxy. My Platelet

Anticoagulants - Warfarin v NOACs
Recently my EP suggested that maybe I would prefer to be taking NOACs rather than my current anticoagulant Warfarin as it would reduce blood tests. On his recommendation I had a consultation with my GP to discuss this option. I have had 2 occasions in the past 6 years where I have had a serious bleed

No Epi
Did your Dentist know you have AFib and are taking Eliquis? Dentists use Lidocaine as it is a vasoconstrictor, however in your case Local with No Epi would have been best. Also sometimes before an Extraction you come off Eliquis 1-2 days before but your Dentist would have consulted with your EP. For

High blood pressure medication and fibro
Hi all hope everyone is OK today. The gp has decided I need blood pressure tablets , I have been on them 2 weeks and feel awful.

Warfarin not raising inr....why?
I've been taking warfarin for 4 weeks trying to get to inr level between 2-3. Even though I'm taking higher dose 8mg my INR is staying at 1.3. I thought by 4 weeks it would have gone up on that dose. It's a pain because I got to have bloods taken every 3 days to see if it goes up. I'm not taking any
