I had a heart valve replacement 12 years ago. I need to take warfarin to avoid blood clots on the valve. I have been reading about the newer blood thinners that dont require regular blood tests. I am tired of so many blood tests. Can I ask my doctor about making a switch?
I just found out that I have a low red blood cell count. This is the first time in my life I have had this problem. I thought I was healthy. What might be causing my anemia?
I have a relatively rare lung condition called organizing pneumonia. I understand the treatment will be large doses of corticosteroids. How are they administered for this condition?
My two-year-old daughter wakes up many nights in a fit of terror, screaming, hitting, and pushing away. Her pediatrician said that the problem is nightmares and will pass. We have tried everything and it does not seem to subside.
