    60 y/o Female St Jude Mitral valve

    Not really. I'd keep an eye in eBay as they do turn up there cheap, but new is probably the only thing now. Do not get the Coaguchek S Only the XS and INRange. The S no longer has any strips available, making it a paperweight. ¯\(°_o)/¯

    60 y/o Female St Jude Mitral valve

    Good morning Thanks for the kind words Google has some interesting biases now. If it's not making money on the reference you don't appear. Back in 2008 when I started my blog I deliberately didn't monetise because I didn't want to seem "owned". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hope you find something here and I'm...

    60 y/o Female St Jude Mitral valve

    Hey Bubba and welcome I like your approach. yeah, my money is on the Roche ... I'm not, they're really well established now. The local nursing home uses one too ... I've been using mine for 12 years now You've probably read it (since it seems you've done a bit of lurking reading) but this...

    Pardon me, but this raises some interesting points as you know we've conjectured on this (link) does anyone? (if yes this makes the USA the only country in the world AFAIK)

    Back in the waiting room...

    I want to be clear here that I didn't "like" to support the behaviour that you were subjected to. It feels selfish (on the part of those who were not there to support you) and irresponsible. hugs

    On- X valve is superior to outdated one like st jude and ATS

    I don't know but if all of the analysis of the On-X study is correct they probably don't want to do it. I would wonder how much they lost and how much it effects their bottom line (not much is my suspicion).

    Roche Coaguchek XS PT INT STRIPS

    no, actually, its a user site supported by commercial activity - money. Money to keep the doors open, money to pay the staff (who aren't volunteers) and money to pay the registration fees for the domain name and the hardware that's hosting the site. are you that out of touch?

    On- X valve is superior to outdated one like st jude and ATS

    Morning @dornole from some years here I can say that the entire spectrum of "can't hear it" through to "drives me bonkers" has been expressed for each and every valve So I'd add that to the post by nobog Some time ago I posted this up, which may help to explain the issue...

    I meant that the original authors writing looked so unclear it can only be the result of miswriting. What you wrote was clear. Best Wishes

    Anyone else feel better once they came off some medications?

    to me the go to is walking, especially hills. I recall my 6 month meeting with my surgeon and asking his guidance for HR. He said if you are walking, running or cycling (looking at MY ECG and ultrasounds) he said as long as you feel ok, your HR will not be the limit. However he cautioned about...

    Hi sorry if I misunderstood ... by brazen do you mean direct and forthright? How should they be done? (keep in mind, I'm an Australian who just prefers direct.

    Anyone else feel better once they came off some medications?

    myself during my recovery I noted that the metoprolol was like a hand on my ability. However I knew that it was deliberate and the equivalent of putting up barriers like "wet concrete" until all the endothelisation was set in and to help the heart heal during the first months. I would also say...

    Roche Coaguchek XS PT INT STRIPS

    what would be wrong with that? Would you prefer to see ads for eBay or Amazon ... wait, we already do!! my view is that someone has to pay for things ... so I'd rather it be people who sell stuff we benefit from and normally buy anyway. Vote with your dollars, vote with your feet or don't...

    Roche Coaguchek XS PT INT STRIPS

    do you recall that initially it was sponsored by On-X and had a great big banner across the top? Personally I've got no problems with the promotion of materials which we actually need (well, some of us) and its great IMO to have a vendor for exactly what is commonly asked "where can I get my...
