"Dad has been on warfarin/Coumadin for over 10 years. He started taking it after he had a triple bypass. He has since had two stents, one at a time. He is 83 years old and has been getting along great. He recently got sick and went to the hospital. All of his symptoms could have been side effects from the warfarin. The doctors would not put down a reason for his getting ill. I would give warfarin a good rating. By the way, if you start interacting with cartoon characters on TV or can watch a movie just by closing your eyes, don't be alarmed. You're not alone. Just try to have fun with it. That's what Dad does."

"This was recommended to my brother-in-law last year, and he almost died from it. Severe, and I mean severe diarrhea, falling all over the place. It was terrible. Then my sister told the clinic she would not let him take any more, and from that day he just improved back to his normal self. In December last year, 2016, my sister had a mild heart attack, and she is now on warfarin. She has exactly the same symptoms, though not as bad. I have urged her to take it up with her own GP, which she will do in three days' time. What I don't understand is every 'specialist' says that you should avoid aspirin when taking warfarin, so why do they prescribe them together? Strange."

"My late wife had been on warfarin for a number of years. What looked like bruises showed up on the back of both legs below the knees. The 'bruises' eventually became open sores and would not heal - calciphylaxis. The sores opened up around mid-April 2019, and she passed away late August 2019. The wound doctor that was treating the open wounds did tell my wife that 'you may die from this type of problem as the blood vessels are calcifying.' The doctor she saw for possible kidney problems immediately placed her on a different blood thinner as he said, 'I see cases of this only in patients that are on dialysis.'"
