stopped taking the blood thinners prior to the blood work or after; And if so how long did you stop the meds? My concern is that with APS, it is IMPERATIVE to take BLOOD THINNERS,. If any WARRIORS can share their experience or give me some advice it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have had to give daily Lovanox injections until warfarin got my INR to the therapeutic window. Talk with your(hematologist?) doc about when to stop Warfarin & Lovanox injections. The injections are a pain literally but it provides the therapeutic bridge you need. Hope you find the answers to your satisfaction.

Whoever prescribes it for you should be the ONLY one to alter or change the prescription. Contact your prescribing doctor. Not something to fool around with or guess about!!! Good luck with your dental work!!

the drug BUPROPION caused me to grind my teeth badly and ended up having TMJ. And TMJ is one of the worse pains. I now take Ativan and Lunesta at night. I feel so much better.

My teeth have been shattering like China. It’s the strangest thing. I get so depressed with all of this.
