Had a blood clot last year. Hematologist has me on blood thinners for the rest of my life. Two pills a day, every 12 hours, everyday.

I feel like I've lost something. Before this, I felt free. I felt alive. But now I feel attached. I feel imprisoned. I feel limited. I feel like death is around the corner. I feel attached to the medical system. I feel like my life now has a price to pay.

Everything has changed somehow. I used to feel like death was a million miles away. But now, it's like, at any moment. And these pills are the only thing keeping me alive. For the rest of my life.

How do I cope with this?

You had the same problem before you realized it was a problem.

No, being on blood thinners is not the same problem.

My mom takes blood thinners every day. And a diuretic, and a chemo drug, and there's 2 more that I forget what exactly they do. Her blood is trying to kill her too.
Don't wait to do a thing you want to do, if you have the means don't deny yourself the fancy meal or new trinket. Not the answer you want but, you'll get used to it.

I have type 1 diabetes, if you feel like you're chained, I'm at the deepest pit of hell with the entire soot ash dirt obsidian and molten rock on top of me, in a swirl of lava
And I'm still alive
You're going to be fine brother. I also got this at 24.

Be thankful that you can live. Don't see the pills as a prison, see them for what they are - a way for you to live now and experience this beautiful life, which you wouldn't be able to experience otherwise. Be thankful brother

Coumadin
She doesn't trust Eliquis it's too new

>>34609462
Oh shit sorry replied before I was done.
Polycythemia Vera.

Good luck with your new normal OP.

shit that's what I'm on

>>34609913
>Polycythemia Vera
oh shit that must suck
>>
>>34609914
Part of why she doesn't like it is because it doesn't require monitoring. On coumadin she tests her INR every 2 weeks and if it's not what she's expecting they often change her dose.
People think it's "better" somehow because you don't have to test but it's less safe and it's a marketing thing. People don't want to stab their fingers regularly.
>>34609949
Yeah it kinda does. She's okay for the most part like her day to day activities or diet haven't changed all that much she never ate that much salt to begin with but she is more fatigued, her liver is like 3x the size it should be, and she bruises like a peach. She can still do the things she always did it's just a little bit harder, with the promise that it's going to keep getting harder. And it chopped a good 20 years off her life expectancy and that's an optimistic number. Never smoked, never drank, never did drugs, still gets cancer. It's the poor people food they're doing it to us on purpose I s t g.

May God bless you and your mom!

First of all, they're not blood thinners. They're clot-inhibitors. Your blood is just as thick as it was before.

Second, which is worse - taking two pills or dying?

I am a homo so there's always the looming threat of getting HIV and being put on medication for the rest of my life. In other news, I realized I have vitamin deficiency and also need fiber supplements. So every day I wake up and to take my vitamins and also a spoon of fiber. One day I realized "wait, so being on medication isn't that bad, in case I need it in the future". The point here is, stop bitching about it and just get used to taking your meds, the same way you're used to brushing your teeth.

>I am a homo
I'm so sorry

>Had a blood clot last year
You should not have taken the vax

>>34608940

You are dense. You are going to die someday, the blood thinners are just forcing you to accept that fact.
