RE: Re: Glivec and feeling cold

[Guest guest]

Hi Mona,

I'm also on Warfarin and it also needs adjusting all the time. I'm cold all

the time.

I take Warfarin because of a mechanical aortic valve. They like the INR to

be between 2.5 and 3.5.

Hi, My oncologist told me that gleevec thins your blood, which in

turn can make you cold. I am also on warfarin(blood thinner) and

gleevec has been playing havoc on my blood counts, we have been

adjusting my warfarin all the time. Norvartis recommends no aspirin

or any other blood thinners unless absolutely needed. Also some foods

will also thin your blood, like brocolli and other greens.....Mona
