"I've been taking Coumadin for about 20 years. I have many times gone too long without going for my blood work, but I work a lot of hours. The only occasional side effect is a bad headache. I went to one of the top hematologists in our area and was told if I tolerate it well, that I shouldn't switch. My internist has been trying for years to switch me to an 'equivalent' that doesn't need the maintenance, but if I don't have any problems with it, I am going to stick with it. It has saved my life for a long time, between having DVTs and PEs. Apparently, a congenital problem according to the experts."
