That's why I mentioned the caution. I realize that potassium is definitely the issue... caution is necessary. But, for people who are really trying to deal with sodium, in its various forms, this may be really helpful.

Right. The company does provide this caution in their FAQs: There is no sodium chloride in the product.

Rob, happy to hear you're up and about. Have a safe trip home and get better fast!

Bought some Heinz ketchup recently - no salt added. Turns out it contains Alsosalt. Ahh, I can eat McDonald fries again with ketchup and only get one hefty dose of salt. :biggrin2: For those on low sodium diet you might want to check this out: www.alsosalt.com

Mmmmmmm..... prayleens.

You're right about the consistency. Try googling "CoQ10 and warfarin". Also - if you're planning on more surgery, make sure to find out how much before the surgery you should quit the CoQ10.

Yeah, good news and some not so good. Hope the aa keeps you out of the OR for a bit. Love the photos & congrats on the valveversary!

Usually it's okay, but you should definitely let them know.

Oops, you're absolutely right. Totally forgot about the age. Sarah, that's a good idea about suggesting that one of your parents on here too - I'm sure they would love to help you get stable. Many of us have found that some doctors and others in the medical profession tend to over react when INR...

Glad you got your date. It's helpful to see light at the end of the tunnel. If you do a search for da vinci you should find others who had it.

Sarah, just a hunch but I suspect the cardiac liaison nurse is telling you to change your dose too much and too often. If you're not already doing it keeping track of the dosage per day and the INR readings is a good way to start trying to figure out where you should be.

Happy news Gail! Pretty snotty remarks, Protimenow.

Yep, a definite prayer candidate. Consider it done.

Hi Sarah, Whew, lots of surgical stuff you've had. Glad you joined here - I'm sure you'll be a wonderful addition and can help a lot of people. Hopefully, we'll be able to give you the support you need as well. As a previous poster suggested hop over to the anticoagulation forum and let's see...

Do not, I repeat, do not stop your warfarin for 5 days. That's absolutely not necessary. Bob H gave you good info. You should be able to make a deal with the dentist. You'll get down to the low end of your range... probably 2.0? At that point the bleeding would only take twice as long as a...

I'll certainly keep them in my prayers. My twin granddaughters arrived 12 weeks early - 2 lbs and 2 lbs-5 oz. NICU cared for them beautifully. They're now very healthy 2-1/2 year old little spitfires.

I've had two surgical procedures at 2.0 - my surgeons were fine with that.

Have you tried going to the supplier and asking them to negotiate the insurance. Try Alere.

I did see this on the healthcare.gov website: http://www.healthcare.gov/law/provisions/preventive/index.html and http://www.healthcare.gov/law/about/provisions/services/lists.html Love the disclaimers though... (too many ifs for my taste)

Many people have reported that Ensure and Boost do, indeed, have an effect on INR.
