General Discussion

First, I am glad to hear that you are continuing with your remarkable recovery.

Second, I googled clotbuster drugs since they are of interest to me from my own health experience. I have two gene mutations which impact the clotting cascade. I didn’t know about the second mutation until I was hospitalized with a DVT last Christmas. I had been on warfarin for 20 years until I went into the hospital in 2015 for a bowel obstruction. My INR was 9.1. So I was switched to Xarelto. Everything was fine until last Christmas. While I was in the hospital they did genetic testing and discovered the second mutation. So I was switched to Eliquis. I was told by the hematologist that there is a slightly increased risk of having a breakthrough clot because of the second mutation even while on Eliquis.
