I found that the Warfarin (Coumadin) "thinned" my blood to "normal" ... I bled and clotted like the average person. So I didn't worry too much about falling/crashing/hurting myself. If the average person isn't worried, why would I be?


When I went off Warfarin (Coumadin), I returned to my normal ... where, if I cut myself, I clot within seconds.
