DIY - Cutting myself!

I've always been into DIY, using lots of tools, and generally cutting and scratching myself regularly.  I'm typically male in my attitude, i just ignore it, and if it's making a mess wrap it in whatever is handy, usually some sellotape or something!

Well, I can report that after being on warfarin, Nothing has changed here.  Nothing.  Heals the same, bleeds the same.

Banging myself however, different story.  I definitely bruise easier, and it's noticeably worse when INR is up near 4.0.

  1. That's awesome news! INR pretty much just means the time it takes your blood to clot. From what I understand from what you just wrote - your blood clotting time is consistent with what it was before you were on warfarin. Great job!

  2. Well, that's good. From what I read about other blood thinners, one of the main problems was with bleeding. Pradaxa for example could lead to some serious internal bleeding in some cases.
