I am the member of Mended Hearts Chapter 81 and they have visitor program. I am planning to sign up for it to visit hospitals in/around Atlanta area and meet OHS patients.

As per Chris signature, he has Tissue valve, so INR 1.2 may not be that big of a deal.

My insurance allows me to go to clinic. I also self-test at home. My clinic blood draw and my self test both are done with CoaguCheck XS.

I may end up moving my pharmacy from Walmart to either Costco or CVS, after 90 day trial with brand name Coumadin.

I have really high metabolism (never gain weight). I've gone on bulking phase (up to 5000 calorie diet) for 3 months and only gained 8 pounds. We're planning to use brand name Coumadin for 90 days and see if it stabilizes INR fluctuations. I'm not taking any other medicines (except crestor and...

I also keep all the records. My insurance pays for the service. I pay $1.50 per INR test and then i test at home as well from my personal Coagucheck XS.

standard INR recommendation for aortic position is 2-3. However my INR fluctuates more than 1 point within 2-3 days and therefore we (me and my cardiologist) agree to 2.5-3.5. I try to be around 3.0, so that even if i my INR goes down by 1, I'm still a 2.0. I'm moving to brand name coumadin...

usually you don't need lovenox, if you're not sub-therapeutic for few days, but since I'd a TIA in 2018 and my INR fluctuates a lot (I take 13 mg to maintain 2.5 - 3.5), I don't want to take any chances.

I've On-X valve in aortic position and On-X recommends 1.5 - 2.0 with 1 baby aspirin. However my current INR recommended range is 2.5 - 3.5 (because my INR fluctuates a lot) If my INR ever goes below 2.0, i plan to do the following for at least 2 days and then retest. increase my warfarin...

Same here. I keep 4 lovenox injections at home, so that if my INR goes too low because of missed dosage, I can take lovenox injections every 10-12 hours for 2 days and use that time to increase my warfarin dosage to bring my INR up. This allows me to not run to urgent care/ emergency to get...

i use weekly (4 x / day) pill box, with warfarin scheduled for 7:09 pm and baby aspirin scheduled for 9:30 pm, so that i can recheck if i took warfarin when i take baby aspirin. In addition to the weekly pill box, i also use Medisafe iOS app (helps me find interactions across all the...

I used Scar away for 2 years. I think it helped a lil bit with scar, but not with keloids.

I can find old Coag-Sense meters on eBay but not the new PT2 one.

I stopped going to Orange Theory (because of cost reasons), but I go to Boot camp sessions @ LA fitness twice a week. I started slow, used to keep an eye on heart rate, and listened to my body through out the workouts. I've been doing boot camps for last 1+ years without any issues.

forgot to mention that my cardiologist provided me Lovenox injection, so that if my INR goes too low, I can self administer lovenox without rushing to get prescription or head to ER. I'm planning to move to Brand name Coumadin for next 90 days and then decide if i should stay with brand name...

I'd to make following changes after i forgot to take warfarin last month and my INR dropped from 2.9 to 1.4 a) Started using seven day pill box, so that i can check warfarin dosage when i take other medicines. 7:09 am - Levothyroxine 7:09 pm - 13-15mg warfarin 9:09 pm -...

I'd the same issue. I'm trying to maintain INR 2.5 - 3.5 and take 13-15 mg warfarin and 1 baby aspirin. My INR also has a wild range and my body does not keep any residual warfarin, so if I miss my warfarin dosage, my INR nose dives from around 3 to 2. I've been advised to move from generics...

i don't see new coag-sense on eBay.

i bought it on ebay few months ago.

MDINR provided me CoaguSense meter last year for home use. I used it for 3-4 months and personally it was a nightmare. It kept on giving me errors that I was producing air bubble with the blood deposit. Every week, i needed to test 4-5 times before getting the results. I worked with MDINR to...
