There are alternatives to warfarin such as rivaroxaban. They don't have the side effects of warfarin. Ask your gp. If you are down because you are on lifelong meds then think how much worse it could be insulin, soil in Tec. Ask gp for rivaroxaban. It is more expensive so if you seem to be coping they don't tend to offer it.
