Acute Coronary Syndrome
"Had a heart attack four years ago &amp; for the first three years afterward, Plavix was my prescribed medication as a blood thinner.  I kept complaining to my physician that I was experiencing something weird; what I called a &quot;roving arthritis&quot;.  I was usually waking in the mornings with one or both hands so swollen in the joints that I couldn&#039;t hold a coffee cup. Or, I&#039;d get out of bed &amp; could only limp around due to swollen, painful ankles. I was miserable, so I finally did my own research online &amp; found Brilinta.  About one month after switching to Brilinta, my joint pain has totally stopped!  On Brilinta for almost a year; a very positive experience.  Only 1  negative: my insurance doesn&#039;t cover near as much as Plavix. Very spendy."
