Go back to doctor: Answers on healthtap aren't intended for individual treatment, prescription or diagnosis, and this is sufficiently severe, whether or not related to warfarin, to warrant re-examination and evaluation. Hope you are better soon.

Warfarin: Not sure if the warfarin is causing your issues or if it is a coincidence. Depending on what the diagnosis is for the warfarin, there may be some other newer medications that do ot have all the side effects, need for labs work, and avoidance of vit k containing foods, etc. Let your dr. Know your concerns, but sometimes, warfarin is the best med we have, and the benefits of it, outweigh the se.
