Wafarin Vs Xarelto

I've been taking Wafarin for three years and that has been agony. Regular blood tests, not always pleasant,and the drug itself, a derivative of rat poison was and is a crude preventive measure.. Yes I was scared of changing the routine but now I'm on Xarelto and I feel so much better. No dietary restrictions. Yes I was tired for a few days. The difference between Wafarin and Xraelto is that I can think.. Wafarin destroys the senses. Yes I was scared of the change, but so glad I did.

Hello, Reinhold! How are you?

Oh, make no mistake, it is not a derivative of rat poison, it is the same substance, just in a much lower amount.

Doncall, I am not sure, what has your doctor advised on that?

My love and partner in this life has always been an extremely active person, even in the hospital he took a wheelchair so he could get around, much to the dismay of the nurses. Lol. He had a dvt in his left leg first in December of 2012, then again same leg in October 2013, and after falling and breaking several ribs and then getting h1n1 flu strain, finally got him to go in and they did an mri and the radiologist called the er in a panic because he had multiple multiple pe's. Everytime he has been in the hospital he has been on lovenox and now he is on xarelto as a last resort because he has factor v leiden. I am so worried about he is tired and in pain all the time, he wants so badly to go back to work but can't hardly walk from one end of the house to the other, and it kills me to see my once strong exuberant partner reduced to needing help with almost everything and lately he has had problems with bladder and colon control. I love him so much and I just want some kind of answers. Please does anyone know of anything we can do or that I can do to help him. He is 36 and says he feels like he is 96.
