Rare serious side effect of Eliquis: Muscle weakness

I have been off the Eliquis since March 5th and there has been significant improvement in my muscle weakness in my legs but especially in my back.
Since they discovered the severe anemia (4.8 hemoglobin) and transfused me with 2 units packed cells my lab values have somewhat improved and hemoglobin has risen to 8.0. It has maintained at that level since transfusions.
My GI specialist agrees with me that the Eliquis had been a great contributing factor in the critical and is and accompanying fatigue and muscle weakness.
I have an appointment with a hematologist on Thursday to address the severe anemia and how we will treat it.
Have you had your labs done recently?
It’s not in your mind, this drug was definitely poison for me.

On your computer type in ‘prescription drug journal Eliquis lawsuit’. Obviously many people have had a bad reaction to this drug and obviously it has been found that the manufacturer hasn’t been totally honest with the public.
I personally have no interest in pursuing anyone legally…I just want my health back.
It’s interesting to read the article though…Big Pharma and the FDA appear to be in bed together in reality.
