I was getting scared my blood was getting too thick. My veins are all puffy. Now tonight it is just very sore. I think I may need to be on coumadin? Have you guys had to be on it? I have read research that says it enables the drugs to enter the cellular level better. When does it become an emergency. I am one of those who can suffer through, but I don't want to die stoically. Thanks for any thoughts.

not sure about coumadin used as infection tx

adjunct. this is generally for blood thinning

needed in presence of certain cardiac disorders

where clotting is likely (ex:a-fib). I can tell

you that coumadin has to be monitored very

closely and can be dangerous if used without

lots of lab follow up or if not needed. Veins

felling puffy may be some fluid overload (too

much water can be dangerous, salt also causes

swelling) or increased blood pressure issues??

I can relate to episodes of numb/ pain to my

entire arm that lasted most of one day, and

happens freq to my hands as well. For me, this

is related to neruopathy caused by Lyme

hope that may help?
