"I started taking it immediately after being diagnosed with DVT (etiology unknown, and I am very low-risk). I was hobbling around Day 1. By Day 15 I was quite ambulatory. Day 20 back to my bicycle with no pain but still can't walk more than 400 yards or stand for more than 5 minutes without discomfort. Day 29 (today) the swelling is still there but has subsided quite a bit. I take pictures of my calf to chart progress, and there has been progress, though still several months to go. There have been almost zero side effects, a slight amount of lightheadedness."

"DVT right calf, unknown cause, started on Xarelto, switched to Eliquis after one month due to concerns I had from research. The only side effect is constant aching in my arms and hands that interferes with sleep. Tylenol helps some. I hope to be off this medication, but am grateful for it. Waiting for test results to see if the cause requires this medication."

"For me, eating snow peas, string beans and salads...NO NO on Eliquis. Every body is different. What works on one not necessarily works for another. I had more leg pain. In fact, more difficult to walk. Stopped eating the green stuff and in a few days, was able to walk better. Tried eating green vegetables again, pain returned. Stopped eating the green vegetables, able to walk better. Just my experience with Eliquis and green vegetables."

"Had blood clots develop in leg while traveling once and while flying once. The Eliquis helped to save me several times. Back in the Ole days would've been hospitalized and who knows what could've happen if the clot broke free. I'm reading on here there is a lot of side effects. So I'm not sure if I will take this any longer since reading all of the side effects on this message forum..."

"I had blood clots in right leg. Started taking Eliquis 09/16/21 and will complete the medicine on 12/16/21. This medication works very well , for my situation ( I am a renal transplant recipient ). Apparently this medication is also responsible for lowering my blood sugar levels, also."

"My son was put on Eliquis one week ago for a DVT in his leg. He is asplenic 6 years ago. He got babesiosis microti from a tick bite. He was diagnosed on June 30th 2021. His DVT was ascertained on July 16 after his Second hospitalization. He was admitted on July 21st for chest pain when breathing. It was not cardiac related through the whole hospitalization process. It was clearly pain on taking breath’s which required him to do shallow breathing. His pain was in his chest that went to left shoulder. Eliquis was started on 7/16/2021 and his symptoms started on the evening of July 20th. He is 30 years old this past May 2021. Just curious if the Eliquis is responsible or an additional factor that caused this to happen. I am acutely aware that the babesiosis microti is a extremely life-threatening illness for somebody who is without a spleen."

"I am 67 years young, pescatarian , no sugar. Exercise daily, take 5 mg x 2. The only side effects I have is some minor itching, and fatigue. Been on ELIQUIS for over 10 years. It does well for me. An occasional expresso helps some, but eating well is the key. Don’t fool yourself eating junk."
