    cuts on warfarin

    So you're basically saying that if you have 95 of something and add one, it's less of a change than if you had two and added one.... On a side note, I was looking to come down there and play some tennis. Do you have any advice?

    New Here - Are Beta Blockers necessary?

    I wonder if it's just different doctors with different ways of doing things. But if your blood pressure was fine and your aneurysm is repaired I wonder why they still want you on them?

    New Here - Are Beta Blockers necessary?

    It's going to be hard for anyone out here to give her expert medical opinion. But I think cardiologist err on the side of caution regarding this. I had my aortic root, sending aorta and hemi yards replaced back in 2015 as mine was 4.9 cm at the time. I only knew about it for 11 months before...

    Home Improvement Help

    If it's only humid during the cooler season when you have the windows and doors closed have you thought about a dehumidifier on the larger size? I have one similar to the one in the link Crooser provided. However I don't use mine because the whole house is too humid but we have an extra room...

    Aortic Valve Choices

    I'm 52, a buddy of mine who retired from the place I work at is 70 and doesn't like flying. He was getting ready to fly across the country to California this week and was all worked up about it and my 15-year-old son said " He's lived a good life. What's he worried about?" I had to explain to...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    On a side note, I'm not sure what is making you angry about my post Carolinemc. I'm not anti-vaccine if you read it correctly. I'm actually prove vaccine. I know that they help a lot. Lot. I've had three shots of Moderna myself. My wife has had three and my son has had two of Pfizer. I'm simply...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    Yeah I think that's how he gets away with basically running the house. He's a terrier so he sort of terrorizes the whole neighborhood when we go on walks, yells at the neighbors etc. They get a kick out of it though. It's funny when little dogs yell at him. Him he doesn't even pay any...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    That's what I'm saying. I think you might have miss wrote the first sentence but can't be sure. Yes, I understand. The vaccines do not prevent you from getting infected in the first place necessarily, but your body has a much more robust immune system response at the ready, so you're less likely...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    Agreed to disagree on the latter part. I don't automatically believe everything from mainstream media, but to suggest that it's on the same level as the Facebook link from a demented uncle who only drinks his own filtered. Urine is a little bit off. When people say we need to figure out for...

    Personally, I vote for more dog pictures.... There's my little buddy. Just don't call him little though. Actually he's my favorite happy hour partner these days, don't know if that says a lot about him or a lot about me.

    Bahahaha! Good catch. Obviously the old voice to text isn't perfected yet. Either that or I mumble.

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    Yeah I'm aware of the spike protein thing which to me does seem like a better mousetrap. One guy I work with went with the Johnson & Johnson which I think is the older method but I'm not sure. He's not anti-vax but I personally think he was a little skeptical of the new technology, however he...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    Well of course the vaccine will likely not work as well and people who have less robust immune systems. Obviously that's a bit ironic because they're the ones who would need it more but my, albeit limited, understanding of vaccines is that they work by introducing either a weekend virus or part...

    mRNA vaccine AHA abstract

    It makes sense because I guess if you go along with the recognized medical opinion it's hard to sell any kind of snake oil. I would think the money would be in being contradictory which appeals to people wanting to think they know "What is really going on..." And then you sell them something you....

    Migraine aura anyone? Or does the cheese stand alone?

    I'm not sure but I'm not on warfarin so it wouldn't be an issue for me. I'm sure pellicle would know.

    Migraine aura anyone? Or does the cheese stand alone?

    It's funny my cardiology team at the University of Pennsylvania said they had never heard of this, but the neurologist I saw there said that it is a frequent occurrence. He said that my brain was 'tickled' by the pump. What he thought was odd was the fact that although I got them more frequently...

    Shots-Flu and Covid-19 booster

    Had the same about 3 weeks ago- flu shot plus Moderna booster. Didn't feel any worse than after 2nd Moderna. Just a bit of arm soreness and maybe a bit tired

    How did you discover your valve issue?

    I was 44 and getting a routine physical. Everything seemed fine regarding the physical including my EKG, blood pressure etc. I asked my doctor if I could get an echo or a stress test done and he said it wasn't necessary. I guess never having had anyone actually take a good look at my ticker and...
