I take around 15 - 16 mg warfarin to maintain my INR between 2.5 - 3.5. My body weight usually fluctuates between 135-138 lbs. I also had a TIA last year possibly because of my INR dropping to 1.5 for a week.

Just got results from my TEE. No blood clots

My cardiologist has agreed to give me a prescription for lovenox so that i can keep it at home, if my INR goes below 2.0. Now I've to find somebody who can administer lovenox injection. I'm scared of needles, and can't see myself administering it myself. I've talked to Urgent care, CVS and...

thanks pellicle

pellicle: one more question: so do I've to rush to get TEE scheduled quickly? I'm currently scheduled for TEE on Feb 7, which is still 2 1/2 weeks away.

Thanks jwinter. It has been close to 2.5+ yrs since my surgery and I've maintained INR between 2-3 (I've to take 15-17 mg of warfarin to achieve that INR) and never had bleeding issue of any kind. I've done 2 MRIs in last 2 years and they also did not show any hemorrhage. My cardiologist has...

Thanks, it was interesting reading. I'm scheduled to go for TEE 2 weeks from now, but I plan to work with my nurse to see if i can get it lil bit earlier. We don't know the time when I experienced infarction, but it was obviously before my MRI date 12/20/2018. So It has already been close to a...

Then this is even more confusing, because outside of the one week, my INR for last 1 year has always been therapeutic mostly around 2.5 and if my INR goes closer to 2, i usually check mid-week and readjust the dosage.

my MRI was done at the same hospital and they compared the results from last year's MRI, and report says that infarction was not there in Oct 2017, but was present in the MRI performed on Dec 2018. My neurologist had access to both MRIs, since he ordered MRI in both 2017 and 2018. Since MRI...

my MRI report details and comparing the results from 2017 MRI: Small, 4 mm focus of subacute infarction involving the cortical/subcortical inferior left parietal lobe. Multiple small, 2-7 mm foci of T2 hyperintensity in the cerebral white matter and cerebellar vermis slightly progressed from...

In order for me to bridge (in future), I would have to find a home nurse to administer Lovenox injection. I'm scared of needles and cant inject myself. I've tried talking to pharmacies, and urgent care places but none of them administer lovenox / heprin. I've been trying to have a backup for any...

>> seems like too short a time between the two, do you have a previous baseline MRI to compare? There is no certainty that there is even correlation (let alone causation) between these two (especially without any symptomatic indicators). It could be even a "thrown clot" (meaning one which was...

Thanks pellicle, Here are some additional details: >> its hard for me to be sure that this is the cause or if the infarc was from an earlier time / event ... how long did your INR go low for? I assume you are still >> measuring INR weekly. I test my INR @ home every Thursday. We don't know...

I went for Aortic Valve Replacement surgery in June 2016 to get On-X aortic valve. I've been on warfarin maintaining INR range of 2-3. My Last MRI-Brain showed that I've had a mini stroke. MRI-Brain result "Small, 4 mm focus of subacute infarction involving the cortical/subcortical inferior left...

Last week, couple of friends @ LAFitness thought that it was a cool tattoo as fake huge bruise.

agree completely

I have not bowled for last 2 1/2 years, but I've been very active after my surgery in june 2016. I've been mainly swimming, running and taking boot-camp classes at the gym, working out 5-6 days a week. My previous cricket team has been actively looking for a left arm fast bowler (who doesn't)...
