best advice is take everything in moderation Im on it for life after 2 x seperate PEs here in the UK i purchased my own blood test machine and the doctors provide test strips lancets and pens free of charge, I telephone my local blood clinic every 12 x weeks because im very stable for the last eight years. The only reason of why i purchased my own was the cattle market and time at the clinics, my normal self testing is once every two weeks but its very stable all year so no real worrys, every twelve months the blood clinic do a home visit to do a double test once on there machine and once on my own machine just to calaberate the two results that aso checks my personal machine, Only one thing seems to effect my INR and thats antibiotics which means a few more tests = twice per week just to keep check. Anybody new to warfarin is dont be afraid you will settle down very fast once you become stable and will not think of it on a day to day basis. Good Luck.

You can't take any supplements or protein drinks, for exercise. I been on warfarin for 4 years. Mitral valve INR for a valve is 2.5 -3.5. Others on warfarin INR is 2-3. I had a ulcer break. I had lovocs twice a day for 4 months. Took that long to get my INR regular. Those shots suck. They burn like acid, and if you rub where you injected yourself. You bruise big time.
Hi i am 17, i need to take warfarin to cuz of 3 trombosies thath i had. They said i need to take this for the rest of my life and i dont want to. How did u go from warfarin cuz i want to and if u ate a lot of vegetables whit vitamin K when u went from warfarin and did u get heparin when u stop using warfarin cuz i dont want to be on warfarin for the rest of my life and any information would help.

Hi Jerome, Unfortunately, because each person’s medical situation is different, we are unable to provide treatment recommendations or second opinions via this form of communication. For any specific questions about your diet, we recommend reaching out to your doctor.
It's Vitamin K you need to look out for. Vitamin K is what allows the blood to clot. It can interfere with Warfarin. The best thing to do is Just to keep your diet the same.
Trev O Donnell I still feel that way when I go to the clinic, but I feel better when I leave knowing my numbers are good. Please don’t let anxiety stop you from getting your inr checked. The test takes like 2 minutes.
Just eat regular eat vitamin k, if you don't eat vegetables. They can't adjust your level of warfarin. Eat consistent. Let them adjust the blood thinners to your diet. Don't adjust your eating too the thinner.
Hey man be careful with this medicine. My grandpa died due to taking warfarin and suffered brain hemorrhage and couldn't get surgery because his blood was too thin. Im not trying to scare you but warn you. You need to try to talk to your doctor for alternatives. Hope you it all goes well for you.
I'm on the drug because of Atrial Fibrillation following repair of my mitral valve. I'm hopeful that eventually the afib can be controlled via medicine. At the moment, I'm in and out of sinus rhythm while taking metoprolol. It's scary, knowing the drugs possible side effects, but so far I haven't had any bleeding problems. Small cuts do take a little longer to stop bleeding, but a septic pencil works for those. I haven't had any discoloration of urine or stools, or bruising. My Dr. has ordered a self test machine for me so I won't have to be tested in the office every few weeks. This is a good idea today with the current pandemic, plus it makes keeping your INR level correct easier. About the only thing I've cut out of my diet is Kale, which isn't something I've had often anyway. I also now avoid spinach. I asked about beer, and was told to limit consumption to 2 a day (!). Since I rarely have more than 2 a week, I guess I'm under the radar on that! (1 12-16 oz beer = 1 glass of wine = 1 shot of whisky BTW).
Generally speaking, you should be ok to have a couple as long as you don't get yourself Pissed. That could fuck up your INR. But every case is different, so ask your doctor.

I am watching from interest. But why don't people take more protein to stop blood clot? Surely if blood is clotting it’s for a reason. That something somewhere is not right. Maybe it’s a heart murmur
@Maria Kowalczyk UK, and around Nov 2019 i had what i thought was pneumonia but now turned out to be covid, i was extremely ill and wasnt moving for ages. Which ended up with me having extreme pain in my left leg, i had an ultrasound scan and they saw the clot. Sorry if this was too long to read
@Maria Kowalczyk I only had one but they said it was around 3 inches long, they told me i could have been amputated if left untreated. Atm im still under a surgeons watch because technically they dont know why i had it but believe it to be caused by covid. They tell me that my femoral artery is scarred and still is struggling to pump blood through. Again sorry for the message being long.
Yeah supposedly its been around since before aug 2019, thats why technically they dont know if it was covid that caused it. Anyway i hope your all better with yours.
I take it for ten years. I live in a third world and test my INR every three weeks . Some times every four weeks . I have a mech. Arotic valve ! ON X heart valve is the best !!!
you can NOT always eat V. K If you have bad blood factors like me, this not safe at all. Please talk to you doctor who care for you before you change you diet in anyway.
