I have been LiBEARated!
That sounds like a change, because I had asked about blood thinners and dr. Mandato (Siskin's partner) said that no, there is no reason for them post angioplasty. Good to hear about the change, as the reports of thrombosis post angio were worrying.
dx RRMS Jun. 2009...on Copaxone and LDN and waiting for my turn to be "liberated"<br />
I am sure the anticoagulants are precautionary. I had no problem taking the Plavix as a precaution at all. I think it makes sense- angio is a lot less traumatic than a stent, but still traumatic.
Three months seems like a reasonable period of time to pop a pill once a day. I take mine at night before bed, since it does make me a bit woozy.
Oh- I noticed my speech is better. I don't have as much of a gravely voice anymore and I am not "word swapping". Word swapping was the act of knowing what you want to say, not finding the word, and substituting with as close to one as you could. That has, fortunately, ended.
It's like a benefit treasure hunt! I find something new every day!

Three veins angioplastied. One renewed life.
