Indeed,nice one PeteExcellent news.
Don’t scare the man Jim, that’s not quite right in my experience…..I’ve been on Rivaroxiban for four months now.Great news Peter, be on the lookout for easily bruising especially about the arms, and be careful around sharp or edgy corners and such
because the blood thinners will make your skin as thin as tissue paper.
Any cuts you get, even the slightest scratch will bleed for days.
BE CAREFUL!
All the best,
Jim.
Far be it from me to want to scare anyone Tim, I was only relating my own experience with "Apixaban" since being diagnosed with congestive heart failureDon’t scare the man Jim, that’s not quite right in my experience…..I’ve been on Rivaroxiban for four months now.
Your skin remains the same, it doesn’t thin….you will bruise more easily though, and I’m sure your medical team would have told you what to look out for regarding signs of internal bleeding. They will also have told you to wear your wrist band at all times in case you are incapacitated in an accident.
If you do cut yourself you will bleed for longer, but not more fiercely. The blood will also be more watery in consistency and can trickle down your body without you realising. Its effect is very like that of flow agent in acrylic paint. This can lead to interesting episodes…..
A couple of weeks ago I nicked myself shaving without realising. I then went to town to get some shopping and wondered why I was getting more funny looks than normal. When I got home and saw myself in a mirror I realised why…..it looked like someone had tried to cut my throat. I had visible bloodstains around the front of the collar of my white shirt….nothing at all dangerous, just a small trickle from the shaving nick that had spread out as I moved around….., :tongue-out3:
