Thankfully I'm very blessed that I tolerate them well. I generally don't bleed super excessively or bruise easily.
I've been on the same Warfarin dosage since August of 2019, which completely baffles the anti-coagulation staff whenever I go in for my regular blood thickness checks. They rarely have anyone go more than a year or two without a dosage change, let alone six years. It probably helps that I am super vigilant about my vitamin K intake. I think the diet side of coagulation management is where most people get out of whack.
