Hello Everyone,
My fiancee has SLE and antiphosphlipid anti-bodies and has had several TIA strokes. I think that her cognitive abilities have degenerated in the last six months or so. She has become extremely paranoid and fears most sounds.
Her neurologist thinks that this is more of her psychiatrist's area and her psychiatrist has said that these symptoms could be Lupus related.
She is scheduled to have minor surgery on her foot, but because of the Coumidin she takes and the Lupus, it is not a simple surgery. She is adamant about not taking pain medication for fear of addiction(her aunt is addicted.)
Has anyone had surgery while taking Coumidin?
I have a million questions and worries so I will start of with the above worries.
We never know if something is stroke related or Lupus related.
I am starting to freak out. Any advice would be appreciated.
