    Had my first shot of Pfzier vaccine.

    I have been pretty stable. My lowest being 2.3 and my highest being 3.7 the last few months. I feel the vaccine did not change much if anything. I like it when I am in the 3's but my doctor doesn't change anything when I get into the 2.3 or 2.4 range. I seem to come back up on my own. I...

    Remote INR taking over Coaguchek

    my self management results for 2020

    My doctor didn’t want me on a generic. I guess that’s why. So he put me on Jantoven. Where are you Pellicle? Not in USA? I am in Va. I ask because I haven’t heard of Marevan.

    CoaguChek XS Meters — Possible Misinterpretation of Displayed Measuring Units

    Hi Pellicle, Is that letter over a patient misuse of the meter for Inr? Not following directions? Changing results? I assume it’s not an alert of malfunction to us all? Thank you
