I HATE VITAMIN K

I HATE VITAMIN K. WHO EVEN HEARD OF IT?? I MEAN VITAMIN C... A... D... E... YEAH... THOSE I'VE HEARD OF, BUT K??? WTF? DID SOMEONE JUST MAKE THAT UP? I WISH, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT IS RUINING MY LIFE. YOU SEE VITAMIN K AND MY LITTLE FRIEND COUMADIN... DON'T GET ALONG, MEANING WHILE I'M ON THE COUMADIN (WHICH P.S. IS NOW OVER A YEAR) I CAN'T PARTAKE IN THE V-K. YOU MAY BE SAYING SO WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT VITAMIN K IS, SO IT MUST NOT BE THAT IMPORTANT. WELL, IT IS IN ALL MY FAVORITE FOODS... BASICALLY ALL GREEN VEGETABLES... BROCCOLI... ASPARAGUS... SPINICH. AND GET THIS... IT'S EVEN IN CRANBERRY JUICE AND THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY MY ALCOHOL TOO?!!! F-THEM. WHEN I LEFT THE HOSPITAL THEY SAID EAT VITAMIN K, JUST ONE SERVING A DAY. WELL NOW I DO MY OWN RESEARCH, ONLY TO LEARN THAT ONE SERVING A DAY, IS WAY TOO MUCH. I'M BASICALLY POISONING THE RAT POISON (THAT'S WHAT COUMADIN IS, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW). SO FOR ALL THIS TIME I'VE BEEN THINKING I'VE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, WHEN IN FACT, I COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. I BLAME THE DOCTORS AND NURSES OUT THERE WHO SHOULD BE TELLING ME THESE THINGS... THE NUTRITIONIST I SAW BEFORE I LEFT THE HOSPITAL. I GUESS THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE, EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE LEFT IN THE DARK... TO BE STABBED IN THE BACK BY VITAMIN K... JUST LIKE I WAS!

If you would like to educate yourself more, check out this very useful website I found www.coumadin.com.
