Has anyone here continued to ride after being put on Blood thiner's?

 

For the last 11 years, yes.

 

For three years.....yes.

No more half helmets, no more riding in flip flops (JK!), etc, etc.

All my riding buddies know that in the unlikely event that I go down, stopping any bleeding is goal #1!

 

I cant imagine a little thing like bleeding to death would stop me from riding. I take Amlodipine for High BP, it is what they refer to as a channel blocker, relaxes the blood vessels for better blood flow. Not really a blood thinner but I guess close to the same effect.

 

Three heart attacks, seven stents and halfway through the battery of my second pacemaker/defibrillator ICD. But I'm no longer on blood thinners.

 

Been on thinners since Nov. 13, wear med. ID's and on long trips a bracelet with med info on a micro card.

 

Since Oct. 2001.
Let'er flicker!

 

been on thinners for most of my life, don't let it dictate your life
life is way to short, live life the way you want

 

get a clotting agent incase of emergency even for around the house.

 

I guess I'd ask why you need blood thinners? If it's to disslve a clot I might be concerned that the shake, rattle, roll and generally rougher ride might jar it loose.
Otherwise I don't see any difference for normal everyday living...
