Yep! Oh how I remember those days. When walking try to push your neck/head & shoulders back and stretch downward, hold for 10 sec, relax and repeat during your walk. A good massage will do wonders!

Yep, in my case, one minute I was trying to look around the ER, I was being introduce to some nurses, saw the oxygen mask coming towards my face then it was lights out before the mask touched my face.

Warrick, thanks for the tip for the calculator, problem is it only has a INR range of 2 - 3, I need one with a range of 2.5 - 3.5; or did I miss something on that site?

I really do wish I had an alternative to share - I miss that on-line calculator.

I too use the XS. Like a diabetic you use a lancet to "poke" your finger and place the blood drop onto the strip. If your having problems with the "old" GP accepting a home monitor go to your cardiologist to get a prescription for a monitor, that's exactly what I did......it took two years for...

Yes, the on-line calculator has been down for a few days. At one time someone contacted the owner of the site to remind them to renew.

I've been using the Coagucheck XS for the past 8 years here in Canada. Although you may have to wait a month or two maybe 3 until your doc and/or insurance approves of one.

As you can see, some people here liked having a recliner, others did without. I had 4 recliners that had a pull button on the side (2 in the the couch and 2 in the love seat) but didn't use them, so for you it will be a judgement call. But in either case, chances are that once you are home your...

Been there, done that. You may feel the wires 'pull' a bit - I did with my first neck MRI, it was a little uncomfortable but bearable. Ask the technician if he could cover your chest to avoid the pulling feeling.....I'm pretty sure you will feel it to some degree. If I was thinking at the time I...

From Saskatoon, Hello and Welcome Alma. What do you need to know? Well......you won't be able to lift anything for the first 2 weeks or nothing heavier than 5 pounds, even opening the fridge door may be difficult. Reaching above your shoulders will also be difficult not to mention painful. Rest...

I'm sorry I can't help you, I can only suggest that you talk you your cardiologist before you stop taking aspirin. My neurologist also told me to stop taking aspirin and when I told my cardiologist he told me, "neurologists don't understand how aspirin works....carry on taking it" I've come to...

Hi David, I was 47 at the time of surgery. When I met my surgeon (I'll never forget his words); "I'll fix it if I can, but if I can't, I'll be using a mechanical valve......cause I don't think you'd want to go through this type of surgery again". A little background on myself/surgery - I was an...

Do hope you enjoyed your trip. I've never done any research on it, but I think butter is the culprit for the higher INR Tony, the French love using butter in everything they make and they use a lot. I like butter too especially on popcorn (kinda O.D. on it) and have noticed my INR does go up...

I've had my INR drop like that twice in 8 years. I take 6mg/day and the pharmacy had put 1mg in both pill containers (instead of 5's in one container & 1's in the other container), the other time is when I changed my warfarin brand. Have you recently got a refill on your warfarin? check your...

I've been comparing the lab results with my Coagucheck XS for about three years and the difference has been .2 higher or lower sometimes .3. Keep in mind (at least in Canada) the lab is allowed a variance of .2 when doing the testing, which involves 3 tests and takes an average. I would suggest...

Just read on your FB Bob about Sadie, so sad it really does bring me to tears. She'll always be your Superdawg.

According to Drugs.com: No results found - however, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

If you are on metoprolol, yes that can make you feel sluggish, if you're having problems with a thyroid as you indicated that too can make you feel tired. I'm guessing it's your thyroid and you best see your doctor - the supplements you are taking are not working.

You'll have to start eating an normal diet that includes green veggies otherwise your dosage is going to continue to swing. I used the online Dosage Calculator with your old dosage (4 days at 7.5, 3 days at 5) and it calculated your dosage should be 7mg for 6 days & 6mg for one day. With your...

CRAP! I meant to say......"don't fret about your INR" Also, if your throat isn't any better by Monday you best see your doctor on Tuesday, you don't want to fool around with a sore throat for too long Try this drug interactions web site: http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html
