					<description>Hi Laura,

I too had all those symptoms.  I was on coumadin for the initial 90 day protocol and thank goodness.  I couldn't even bite into a soft breaded sandwich without blood on my bread.  Plus the a fib I went into right after surgery in the hospital and now am dealing with ventricular tach - everyone tells me all from surgery.  

At the time of getting coumadin I participated in a study done by Mayo clinic and my ins co - it was for testing individuals sensitivity to coumadin.  My results were I was very sensitive and would need a lesser dose.  Now if the Dr's would have listened I could have saved myself a lot of heart ache ( no pun intended)
