Deep Vein Thrombosis Support Group

My first week on warfarin 5mg per day, I decided to drink a lot of vodka and was carried out of the mens room and out to the car! I was very stupid for doing exactly what the doctors warned about.

I can have like 2 or 3 beers without any obvious adverse reactions.

So lets do a roll-call how many Factor V people are lurking about sipping on cocktails.

I've tried everything to get this site to grow. I've done several roll calls, and only get a few responses.

I've been wanting to start a site for FVL. I've got the disorder and know most of the info on it. I usually inform the doctors when I see them.

If I talked to the big man, would you be willing to to be a group leader with me on a FVL site.

This is for dvt's. And alot of people have those, but I would like a site just totally for FVL. What do you think?

Let me know.

I don't know how to be a Group Leader so maybe you can help me?

I stumbled upon this site while doing my google search. I was diagnosed with my second clot and as of now i am on warfarin for life. It was a hard pill to swallow knowing that I would no longer be able to play rugby.

I am a college student and Im curious, do you still drink? If so, how much? The doctor said the usual (1-2 drinks a day, you are ok) but the only time I drink (id say 2 times every three weeks) I usually drink a lot. I know I will not be able to drink as much as I used to (obviously) but 2 drinks is rough id say.

How did that one night affect your INR level? Did you notice any bleeding?

Thanks

I would like to think that they got to feeling better and no longer needed this site.

I hope they can get you fixed up. Sounds like you've gone through the rings.

Take care,

Kathy
