    Sorry to hear your news Barny. My Dad is on warfarin and once your on a stable dose you can have the occ drink. It affects your blood clotting so that's why it's not recommended whilst your commencing warfarin til ur levels are stable.
    Good luck with it all.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Leg started aching last Thursday, by Friday night I had been diagnosed with sciatica. By Monday morning my lower leg had swollen and I was unable to put any weight on it. Was confirmed as a clot on Wednesday.
