    Staying the Course -- December 8, 2020

    Well also I wander if it may alter INR numbers. Like when we take antibiotics? I’m going to cardiologist tomorrow and will ask him if he knows.

    Did anyone here notice when they vaccinated VP Pence, the doctor asked him if he was on anticoagulation meds? What does that mean for us who are? Anyone know?

    Remote INR taking over Coaguchek

    I haven’t received any bills . Just explanation of benefits from my insurance. I have Medicare and Cigna. Waiting to see what happens. I just hope they do send supplies on time when we need them. I was able to report my results by phone last Tuesday so it looks like they made progress on that.

    Supplements and Warfarin

    I have osteoporosis and all recommendations to take supplements like K2 and MK7 worry me. I asked my cardiologist and he said no to them. Also did some research years ago that did not recommend it be taken with warfarin. So I don't. I use to love chamomile tea. I haven't had it since I started...

    Revisiting Post of Home Monitoring

    I had same experience again this morning. I did wait on the phone and finally got a representative who took down information to send to my doctor. I was in range so that was good as I don’t know how well they are reporting results based on their problems with DOB. I also received new strips...

    Revisiting Post of Home Monitoring

    I just started testing at home last April with the help and advise of many here. I would hate to go back to the doctor’s office. Hope that Bio Tel irons out their issues. Good luck to all of us.

    2nd opinion now or later for Aortic aneurism?

    At the risk of sounding stupid, are aneurysms happening in all mechanical valves? Mitral too?

    Switched from name brand Coumadin to Jantoven 7 days ago and now have nausea

    Thank you for the information. I was 2.5 again today. I expect my docto won’t change my dosage even though I wish I was testing a bit higher. I did have my 2 salads a day that I wanted.

    I just tried to report my test to the new company Bio tel. I couldn’t do it like before because it would not accept my birthday.
