After my mother's stroke in 2006, her doctor put her on plavix. About 3 months later when she was back at home after being in the hospital for almost 2 months, she had a bad fall that gave her a big bruise along one side of her leg. I guess the doctor got frightened and stopped her plavix right away. My mother did not suffer from any stroke or heart attack after that. Maybe because she was taking some good vitamin supplements at that time.
I am beginning to not trust doctors who keep on prescribing drugs for every ailment that you can think of. This past week, the doctor finally stopped prescribing lipitor for my mom after I made a big stink about how criminal it is for doctors to prescribe statins to elderly people knowing very well that lipitor deprives the heart of coq10 and knowing very well that elderly people already have low coQ10 levels yet they don't even require that the elderly patient take Coq10 and instead let the patient suffer the side effects from the drug.
