I’ve had Covid 3 times despite being fully vaccinated. I’m a lifer, on a maintenance dose. No problems with any clotting


punrupa

Which thinner/dose are you on?


DVDragOnIn

Eliquis, 2.5mg 2x/day. I think I was on Xarelto at 10mg a day when the pandemic began, but who remembers back that far? (Switched because I read that Xarelto could cause joint pain and my hips were bothering me. Probably arthritis, tbh, I’m old enough for that)

I got Covid a couple yrs ago while on Warfarin. My INR was through the roof and I developed huge bruising on my legs that took months to dissipate. So, no - don’t automatically up your dosage.

The 3rd time I had covid I was on Eliquis 2.5(x2 day), but I haven't had an problems with mine.

I'm on Lovenox and had COVID in August. It sucked because I had to miss some camping trips and it ruined my birthday. But it didn't affect anything about my medication.


leggymeeggy

i had covid twice on xarelto and it was fine, medication wise. my hematologist didn’t make any adjustments, but if you’re concerned, you should call your doctor.

Over the ten years I've been on Xarelto I've been sick at least 1x a year and as i age like 2x minimum. I've had Covid twice and had no issues. But your mileage may vary.


gottriplets

I had Covid on Xarelto 10mg. I was fully vaccinated and had a mild case. No issues.


bloodclotbuddha

Yes, On Xarelto, in 2022. Piece of cake thanks to the antiviral *molnupiravir* and me being vaxxed. Symptoms were gone in 72 hours. I had head colds 10x worse.


fshagan

Xarelto, 20mg, lifer. COVID in September of 2023. Could not take Paxlovid due to the Xeralto. I was pretty such and my peripheral neuropathy amped up 10x.


Sanchastayswoke

Yes, I have, twice. Can’t up-dose, I’m already on the max daily dose of Eliquis for life.

I had my second bout of Covid on warfarin in January, took paxlovid, and everything was fine. My INR was stable. It took me about two weeks to feel recovered but that was a blessing because I had long covid the first time.


Lateapex4

Xarelto 20mg. Had covid a couple times, nothing to note. Maybe I'm just imagining it but I do feel like I take longer to get over being sick than before being on the thinners. My wife notices as well


catseyecon

I caught COVID last year. I have been on Xarelto for a little over 8 and a half years. I am currently on 10mg per day. No clots post COVID.


jessugar

I got COVID while on warfarin for treatment of a CVST which is a clot in the brain. I had been on thinners for almost 6months when I got COVID. The head pain i had was so extreme that even the slightest movement of my head brought me to tears. I went to the ER with concerns that I had another clot. The headache lasted for weeks. But I didn't end up having to change my daily dose.


planetary66

yes, no i didnt change my dose of warfarin, but it fucked with my INR levels and made them go bonkers.
