  • It doesn't work that way though, alcohol increases INR, so clotting is reduced further, ie. being a pisshead should've been helping the Warfarin.

    I stopped Warf back in March after the 3 months they said for the first one. This second clot could be a complication from damage from the first one or it could just be that I'm genetically predisposed to clotting and now that it has shown up they need to test for:

    Factor V Leiden
    Protein S deficiency
    Protein C deficiency
    Prothrombin Factor II

    Or it could be other shit - wikipedia says some cancers can cause it. Yay, sweet, sweet death, take me away.. or um...
