    Question about warfarin dosage and your INR's reaction time

    Not sure why you seem to be throwing EBAY under the bus, and thru the years I have had bad things and good things happen using EBAY! And I would add to that, for real, nothing in life is 100%, and or perfect, and I would never claim that anything was! It is a fact that at least 35% of us here...

    Huge discrepancy between the lab and CoaguChek XS

    I home test, and because it is the VA from where I get my Warfarin, I am required to lab test with them. I find I am needing to get to a certain number, or else the VA test is out of range up or down too much for my likes! I find this difficult sometimes, although it is now getting a tad easier...

    Question about warfarin dosage and your INR's reaction time

    I just had to reply to something you said when you added the comment about NOT wanting to buy the "Coaguchek" machine from EBAY, I say to that, why not? From being here as much as I have been, and reading as much from here as I have, I believe many here and perhaps even those that have never...

    I also have now the St. Jude Mitral Valve and since JUNE/2015, and am still among us.

I have been home testing for a bit over 2 years now, INR, and it is and has...
