    INR & Covid & Antibodies

    hope its fine to ignore some here, well its done, my last comment to this PERSON will be, I see tons of those that claim those most hurt by this, "virus" and "VACCINE" are the ones that get the shot, either have real bad side effects, or DIE! so there you are, it goes back to whom you choose to...

    INR & Covid & Antibodies

    your attempt at the BLAME GAME is baseless! lay off of the unvaxed, why dont ya! it is all BS, and cause you and yours dont see that, well that is your problem, and not mine! and although those like you try to make it a problem that I or any others may choose to remain unvaxed, that is our right...

    Missed a dose. What do you do?

    You bring up a very good point there, if it is possible to get a higher INR drinking those, why are we even messing with WARFARIN? just a dummy asking a question that I havent even a clue. I happened to be a lover of grapefruit juices.

And yes to that, incase...

    Home testing

    that second URL that you posted is weird to say the least, it seems to be indicating that you would need to buy at least 1000 boxes of strips, so that would be at least $4,000? or what am I missing? it seems if I was able to buy it, it would be about what, $1 a test strip? or so? are there over...

    Home testing

    For sure, please let us know. I was also thinking of buying a backup. I mean if i can get it for like $40-50 or so, why not. Or once I make sure it is working at 100%, i could use the USED one first, and leave the NEW one as a backup, what ya think? [chuck, now i am starting to feel bad here I...

    awesome, WOW, Ebay has them, and they never to my knowledge even ask for a script, depends perhaps where you are, some locations perhaps dont allow that, and those test strips same same, got em on Ebay, a bit pricy but I think well worth it. NEW, mine cost $500USD, and i am down here in South...

    not sure what you mean, but fact is that it is impossible to get a new machine without a script from a doctor, insurance wont cover it unless you got to doctor first, heart doctor i would think. I got mine, $$$$ asnt a problem i am doing not so bad, so i dug into the wallet and spent the hard...
