Muscle atrophy from blood thinners seems to me, to be dangerous, especially since the heart is also a muscle.  I am assuming, but could be wrong since I'm not a doctor, that those of us who have suffered blood clots and been put on eliquis have other issues that caused the blood clots in the first place and those issues have to be addressed in order to NOT have to be on blood thinners so that other dangerous issues do not arise.  I do agree, this feels like a slow moving poison that is making us even sicker, at least that's how it feels to me.  
Less than a year ago I worked out every day and had for years.   Now I've slowly become disabled.  Yesterday I finally ordered a wheelchair so that my husband can push me to appointments because I can barely walk without falling or passing out.
