Question for Warfarin User's

[Freddie]

It's been said when one is on warfarin your more likely to get sun burn, but what about frost bite?
Question:
Is one also more acceptable to get frost bite when your on this medication?

Yep....you guessed it...........I think I got frost bite on my thighs. They are burning just sitting here.

Hi Freddie,

I am not sure about frostbites, but I noticed since I started taking Warfarin, my skin is more sensitive and I burn more easily and my burns hurt more than before...I quickly burn if I touch something hot, or while I am cooking I burn from vapor coming out of a pot on stove. I was wondering if it was my imagination or ?

My point exactly Eva.

Hi Freddie, I've been told to watch the sun but not cold. It makes sense to me though about the frost bite. I would go have it checked out, better to be safe then sorry. I know I get cold easier and it takes a long while for me to warm up.
The weather here is'nt even as cold as you are. Good Luck let us know what happens.

Thanks Crystal. I have no blisters, just white and pink blotches. The heat from my lap-top kinda feels good on my lap (thighs). Hopefully I will be able to stay in tomorrow

I haven't noticed any difference from pre-warfarin use. Was down in Grand Cayman a month ago and had no sunburn issues.

Shouldn't this be under the Anticoagulation Forum?? Would reach more users there perhaps.........

 

[Freddie]

Good question Marsha. I'm not sure.

ROSS - we need a judgment call here.

 

[Bina]

Shhhh, Ross is sleeping......come back at 5 a.m.

 

[Ross]

7 am today! I was up for 20 hours yesterday.

UPDATE

Its wasn't Frost Bite.
The burning and red and white skin is caused by a slight BURN! - by having this laptop on my lap.
I am now using a pillow under the laptop - legs still hurt, but hopefully this will help.

Freddie, I noticed that too. before surgery my laptop used to warm my legs up, but now they burn not warmed! So, either this is true and we are senstive or we both are crazy!!
