@kathiemk, I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a hard time with bleeding issues. Are you having trouble regulating your INR levels, I'm presuming or what has your doctors said is the cause? I was on warafin the first time and I had a hard time staying regulated despite being very careful of my diet etc. I had to go daily to every other day to get checked for quite a while which was such a pain. Now with this second round thankfully I'm on Eliquis which Is a completely different drug and that is no longer an issue for me. Your physician would have to advise with your current medical condition(s) if a biologic blood thinner would be an option, or even the right option for you or not.

I'll hope you find a way to get regulated quickly. I'm sure it is very distressing. Hang in there!

Fortunately I finally got a doctor that figured out the problem…been on xarelto with no issues…. I also have gluten issues….
