@ordiver1 Thanks for replying. How are you doing on the Prasugrel (Effien)?. They switched me off Clopridigel (Plavix) and added baby aspirin. I have naturally low blood pressure (and cholesterol for that matter, go figure), and the blood thinners make me dizzy. They also contribute to getting terribly large and ugly bruises on my hands and arms. But I guess I come by that naturally as my mother had the same. Thin skin. I can brush up against a door frame and get a bruise. I researched Effien, and it evidently is very strong stuff and they won't keep you on it for longer than 6 months nor would they even prescribe it to you if you're over 75. Have you had any noticable side effects? Today is my 4th day out and I feel remarkably good. I can start driving today too! Thank God!
