I am off the Warfarin!!
I am homozygous for the MTHFR C677T gene mutation, and also have a high homocysteine level. There is evidence that this combination increases my risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and blood clots.
At the moment the treatment is to lower the homocysteine level by taking mega doses of folic acid and Vit B. They are not sure if lowering the homocysteine level actually does decrease the risk of atherosclerosis and blood clots, but they figure it is worth a shot.

So ... off the Warfarin, and onto mega doses of folic acid. The specialist also thinks that exercise can help me. Hopefully I'll see an increase in my energy level so I can do more!
