Blood Clots
by dixter, Dec 23, 2007 11:24AM
I was diagnosed with a Meninginoma that was removed in May of 2007.
about 2 weeks later I had 3 clots in my left lung and 1 in my right lung.
upon being admitted into the hospital they installed a filter through my groin and I through another
clot. because of the brain surgery the didn't start me on Coumadin for another 4 weeks.
It's been 6 months that i'm on Coumadin and the Hematologist wants to stop the Coumadin and start me on an aspirin therapy as I have 2 factors now for
having clots they are Lupus Anticoagulant, and Prothrombin. I now have Phlebitis.
The Vascular Dr. says I have to be on Coumadin the rest of my life.
I don't want to use Aspirin or Coumadin. I would like to use Cod liver oil, Garlic, and
a host of other Minerals, herbs, and Vitamins.
I would appreciate some input on this, I'm sure when I see the Hematologist and talk to him
about what I would like to do I think he wouldn't want me as a patient.
Thanks for any input

I had blood clots, but I was lucky 2 weeks of shots daily cleared the mess up.
Hope people will give you more input here, those are on Coumadin.
It is a hard decision, do your careful investigation. Good luck.
I'm 62!
