Yes I know this board is supposed to be about Q related content; however, I don't think there are any other forums on the internet with people who are smart enough to answer my question. I don't trust my doctor because I think she's compromised by Big Pharma.
Awhile back after taking an ultrasound test, they told me the blood clots in my lower left leg have finally dissolved after taking Warfarin for 12 years. But they want to keep me on Warfarin as a preventive anti-clot drug forever. My main concern with this regiment is the possibility of suffering fatigue from taking the drug. I don't know how it causes fatigue; however, it's still my number one suspect. If a far simpler drug such as aspirin can be an effective treatment at preventing blood clots without the debilitating side effects of fatigue, I'm all for it. Please express your thoughts.
This is a question you need to bring to your doctor. My guess is that something else is driving the fatigue, but that's up to your doctor to diagnose. If she put you on warfarin, she's got a good reason and you need to stay on that therapy. It is prescribed to reduce your chance of a blood clot and death. This is a life-saving medication. In some cases, they can put you on similar drugs like Eliquis or Xarelto, but that has to come from your doctor. Aspirin alone is not a substitute.
If you don't trust your doctor, then you need to find a new doctor who you do trust. Again, no one can diagnose you over the internet like this. The only one who can look at all of the relevant factors is your healthcare team. This question has to go to them.
