Just wondering. My ferritin (iron) level seems to keep going down since I have been on Coumadin. It goes back up after supplementation, but it then comes down again once I am off. At first, they said it was from the trauma of the surgery, but now that it keeps happening the only reason that I can think of would be the Coumadin.

I take both a blood thinner and a baby aspirin.

If you have any experiences with coumadin side effects, please let me know. Thanks! :)

Does anyone have to check there inr weekly and are on warfarin?How does it make you feel the majority of the time, when your levels are high how do you get them back down and steady?
When I first started doing my inr in the beginning it was good and steady buy the last two times I've been in to check I have had like a 6. It's high and I'm worried I might have to go in to hospital because I can't do shots in my belly
