Where do u see tiny vent hole in that tube? I'm using these sample tubes @ https://stat-technologies.com/product/the-coag-sense-sample-transfer-tubes/ I also called their Tech Support line @ 866-903-0890. They think that I may be pushing blood into the device way too fast and causing air...

I switched my health insurance this year and ended up moving to a new home monitoring company (LinCare). They moved me to Coag Sense. IMHO, Coag Sense is pretty difficult to use (compared to Coagu Check XS). They expect us to use capillary to transfer the blood and then use this capillary to...

I prefer to signup with Ambetter, since that way I would be able to stay with my current cardiologist. They were not able to tell which PT/INR home monitoring company is in their network.Ambetter provider search says that they don't support 'Roche Diagnostic Services'. I plan to call both...

Hi, I'm trying to get list of all warfarin home monitoring companies. I have been enrolled with 'Alere Home Monitoring' via Blue Cross Blue Shield. However, in 2018 we only have 2 HMO options on marketplace exchange (Kaiser and Ambetter) Alere does not take either of those insurance...

I usually run 1 5K runs every month in Atlanta.

Good new Anne.

Hi Anne, I feel really sorry to hear this. Sending u warm and best wishes

I prefer to keep my INR @ 2.5 (Cardio's recommended range is 2 - 3). My dosages are 16-17 mg / day === roughly 115 mg / week. I seem to have very high metabolism and am extremely active. I home-test twice a week.

It was happy hour, and i think i had 2 corona beer by the time, it happened, so alcohol may have been a factor. I'm still too nervous to chew anything ,till redness goes away. Plan to primarily drink liquids (Soups, Coffee, Juice, and Protein shakes) for next 2 days

ER decided not to stitch my tongue. No bleeding in last 20 hours. I'm however being extra cautious and not eating any things that requires chewing. Plan to be on liquid diet, till redness disappears from the tongue.

Hi, Last evening, i bite my tongue during happy hour around 6:30 pm. I started bleeding pretty bad, tried couple of items, but it kept on bleeding till 8:45 pm and therefore i checked into ER. They're able to stop the bleeding by trying following things: a) Applied Ice b) Pressed bit wound...

I'm able to do pushups, use ab rollers, and run 6 miles 4 months post AVR surgery. Ready for 5K run on Saturday sponsored by AHA

Neither do I, but with On-X, I don't have to bridge if my INR drops to 1.6 (it went to 1.6 last week)

Thanks Pellicle. They'll allow me to self manage by end of september.

My doctors are trying to keep my INR in the 2.5 - 3.0 range, but it does not seem to be working. I always have been hyper active, gym rat with really high metabolism. My INR went down from 2.4 to 1.8 last week and have been advised to bump my warfarin to 15 mg / day. It seems that as I increase...
