I just heard about an issue last night with Plavix and thought you might want to be aware.
google: plavix TTP

My family has fought circulatory problems for years and I had TTP, so it got my attention right away. We won a MAJOR battle with gangrene using Plavix and a stent only to run into a brick wall with an unexpected coronary issue when Plavix was discontinued. If you would like insight from our experience, please feel free to ask. You have my prayers, of course.

Oh my gosh freema...I had my battle with Plavix too...huge brusies over my body, but worse it what it did to my feet.

They turned purple and I thought I was going to lose them. I still can’t stand or walk for very long. Stupid meds!!!
