deep vein thrombosis, recurrent event
"Was on Coumadin for 4 years.  Walked away due to headaches daily.  Got another clot.  It may have been worth the couple months of no headaches, no fussy head, no feeling stupid, loosing my sight (which is old age, but still the timing), but the anxiety of knowing my body will clot along with a new clot put me back on Coumadin.  Finally got the news about Xarelto.  Life changing to say the least.  No way to reverse dose, I take the risk for a better life.  Besides the half life is only 5 to 9 hours for under 45 yr old and 11 to 13 hours for older.  Take it with dinner and you are sleeping that whole time."
