Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 This is not really advice but more of a respond. I was just talking to my husband about this very thing. I was hospitalized last June for a DVT to my left arm, they put me on coumadin and heparin and I started having problems with my thyroid meds and severe anxiety (I had never anxiety before). I was suppossed to stay on it for 6 months but on October 1st I took myself off of it. I went to my doc a few days later and told him that taking coumadin was awful and he agreed to let me stay off of it. I have never been the same since taking coumadin. I was on synthroid for my thyroid at that time and then started the swing between hyper and hypo. In November they discovered I have hashi's as well. All I can say is ask your doc if there is something else you can do instead of taking the coumadin. > > Ok you know I had surgery on my foot and I had to be placed on coumadin > because I have a history of clotting thanks to birth control.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Enyzmes would also be a solution. Coumadin is nasty stuff, they don't call it rat poison for nothing.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Ahhh that could be. Last time I was on coumadin I was taking effexor. So that would of calmed the anxiety. I also was taking synthroid then too. Luckily I only have to take this for about another 3 1/2 weeks. And I feel better taking it, because I do have a mild clotting disorder and since I'm stuck sitting for 6 weeks, I don't want to clot. I'll see if the hematologist will run some thyroid labs for me when they take blood on Tuesday and see if I've swung hyper. I know I'm not sleeping as well the last few night, but I'm also having sweats again. Uugghh. I want my supplements back. I'm counting the days!!! hugs Micki Health Eating and Living Together http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/he2gether_/ www.stopthethyroidmadness.com Re: not feeling very well - need help This is not really advice but more of a respond.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I believe so, that's why they only say 500mgs of C.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I am a major advocate for enzyme therapy for a myriad of conditions. Even though I had found the 'magic formula' of various supplements for many health problems, the enzymes are what gave me best results when added to the other stuff. Especially with any inflammatory conditions, but with others as well. They are great for keeping blood from clotting more than it should, also and dissolving existing clots. Although as a caveat, if you have symptoms of a clot in the leg, get yourself to an ER pronto. You don't want to fool around with that. Enzymes could handle that also, but maybe not fast enough to prevent death. > > > > linn > > > > What does all that do? How does that help while on coumadin?
