I used to take Warfarin. If I stupidly ate spinach I failed the test.

Now I take Eliquis and all the iron leaves my body.

Must take iron pills.

Costs me a small fortune.

“Now I take Eliquis and all the iron leaves my body. Must take iron pills.”

Thanks for that! I started Eliquis early this week. I was wondering if taking iron with it is a good thing or bad thing, and didn’t find much info about it online. A couple days into it I felt “draggy” and wondered if there could be an iron issue.

Anyhow, it’s a scary drug, I hate it, will do it for three months, and then no more. If I die, I die. When I passed 70, I figured I’d done my time.

And the cost! What’s up with that, anyhow? I’d never taken drugs before, except an antibiotic now and then, and never reached my insurance deductible, so this was a rude awakening.

I take Eliquis and I have way too much iron. Thus I did sleep study and now on CPAP. Hope CPAP reduces iron and blood pressure.
