Rant about Hubby

Good advice from all - I take Xarelto and you are very specifically advised not to just stop - it's one of the potential bad sides of what is otherwise a very effective drug.

Your husband really does need to talk to his doctor - not only about the effects of stopping his medication but why he wants to stop.

I get a  bit ropeable about the more irrational "nutritionists" of this world who preach faddy diets and bizarre attributes for otherwise sensible food (activated almonds!). If your husband has been on Warfarin and Xarelto then his doctor is trying to protect him from clots (which lead to strokes), to which his doctor thinks he may be susceptible. You don't  prescribe them otherwise. Most of us would like to think that a healthy diet would protect us from illness, but lots of very healthy people (and doctors!) get cancer and other illnesses, so it's not a real answer.

If he has side effects he hates, or just hates taking medication, that's quite understandable but he needs to talk through how to deal with it in  a more productive and safer way.

Good luck, looking after our own health is hard enough, looking after a loved one who probably doesn't want to hear the arguments about his new regime is even tougher.
