Coumadin sucks!
I've been taking the blood thinning medication Coumadin since mid December when I was diagnosed with a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in my neck. I know this medication is important and it will get rid of the clot, but damn the side effects suck! I'm tired all the time, achy a lot, slightly depressed, irritable and I cannot lose weight at all (not even an ounce). Plus I can't drink alcohol, can't eat veggies or salads. I have to be on this for another 3-4 months. Blah. Plus I get to get stabbed every two weeks so they can check the levels on my blood. Oh and in case you didn't know ( I know I didn't know this until the doctor told me) Coumadin is rat poison. No seriously, it's rat poison and I have to voluntarily swallow 7.5mg of it every day. Good times!
