My experience has been good, but since I will be finishing the 6 month treatment protocal, I have no idea about use of "pain meds" such as asperin. How long do I wait until I take these again?

the 2nd PE I had I started bleeding internally about a month after I left the hospital. I had emergency surgery and had to stay in the hospital for 8 days. It seems hard to get my levels correct and I have to keep going in for blood tests. It took 6 months every going every week for level checks. It is frustrating and once again this summer it has been hard to get the right level.

husband has been on it for the past 4 months for DVT that then went to PE. it took a great deal of time for the drs to regulate it to where he was at an acceptable level, it would run low then high then low then back up again, just recently has it become stable. there are a lot of side effects with this medication that are scary but with any meds there are a lot of side effects, you just have to be very careful and know what to look for. one in particular that we werent told is about headaches, if they last more than 24 hours and turn severe with pain or vomiting, shaking, blacking out...you need to go to the E.R. to be checked for brain bleed. my husband gets migraines and had a bad headache a few weeks ago with vomiting so that was scary to know we should have gone but didnt. now he is having issues with his legs hurting him and being cold all the time which is a result of your blood being thin but this doesnt mean its too thin just a reaction to it being thin but i would think it would still be necessary to let your provider know. i cant wait til he gets back to his oldself again. very hard to see him go through these ups and downs and not being able to make it better.
