So they gave me the newest supposedly great alterntive-Xarelto.

Not only did it not give the numbers they wanted, it has cause me some horrible side effects. My muscles are still suffering ten months later. Muscle wastage, weird traveling headaches etc. A long list of misery.

The irony of the whole catastrophe is that my family Dr. said my blood flow is fine! He did some minor surgery a few months ago and asked if I was on blood thinners. I said no, that none of them worked. He said that the one test they use doesn’t tell the whole story and my blood is flowing well. I don’t need blood thinners!

He asked if I was taking Nattokinase and I said yes. He said don’t worry about it then. I’m wondering why the tests didn’t work. Would the herb screw it up?
