Acute Coronary Syndrome
"Although I&#039;m from a family with no heart disease, or very little, I was astonished to have two heart attacks - they are from the inflammation caused by Sjogren&#039;s Syndrome. Effient has been great and keeps me from having another heart attack, but the bleeding even from a pinhole cut can be extreme - the other day I bled for 12 hours. The blood was trying to coagulate but stayed jelly-like rather than clotting completely. I&#039;m covered with bruises most of the time but I&#039;m used to that. Just glad to be alive and be able to take these meds."
