    INR 6.8 and Nosebleeds

    Hi Eva, Thanks for caring and responding to my post. I have a humidifier and used it last night and intend to use it more often to see if that helps my nosebleeds. This morning I think I am feeling somewhat better. Can't bring out any sound. But I don't have to work today and can rest all...

    Cambridge, Ontario CN??

    Marsha, I used to live in Cambridge years ago. (1972) and it was a small town then. Not much to do at that time. It is cold country and I hope the snow will be gone by then.

    so is anybody esle on 17mg........aday

    At the moment I take 15mg one day and 16mg the next. I have been as high as 26 - 28 mg per day, but since I've started using the Chi machine I've been able to decrease the dosage to 15 and 16 on alternate days. It doesn't matter how much Coumadin you need to take to stay stable. What matters is...

    INR 6.8 and Nosebleeds

    Hi Bina.. thanks for replying to my thread. INR goes up and down especially when you are on a high dosage like me. But at times I am also stable and don't need to test every week. I do my own testing and dosaging and have been doing that successfully for 8 years. The 6.8 INR I believe was caused...

    Hi Crystal, I've been dealing with this "crud" for some time now and the doctor said that the Laryngitis is "Chronic" and he wants me to see an ENT (I hate going to doctors) to rule out anything serious. Over all the ears since my surgery in 8/2000 I've seldom had nosebleeds and they started in...

    How Did You React When (S)He Told You?

    My surgery happened quite a few years ago now but it's still fresh in my mind. I had no idea I was in such bad shape and had gone to a Homeopath to ask her help in losing some weight. I felt I was getting weaker, not stronger and wasn't able to maintain the weight lifting/exercise regiment I was...

    Seen any good plates lately?

    Another good one. Another good one. A few houses down from mine a neighbor just bought a Mercedes and her plate reads: ITSPD4. I thought that was a good one. Most of them that I see during the week I forget because I can't stop to write them down. I will pay closer attention and maybe my brain...
