avoid having Halls. I take zinc for a sore throat all the time and Tylenol. I haven't really notice a problem with my INR Drinking tea with honey will sooth the throat too. Basically, you have to take what you have to take to feel better, adjust your dosage accordingly if you need to. A couple...

Took me a good three months. What is your INR range and why do you have to "metabolize it quickly"? Oh yea, have a little laugh; INR really stands for "It's Never Right" Try using this to help you. Just fill in the second blue header "Continued Dosing" then click on "calc". It will give you a 7...

Go and enjoy your beer with your friends, limiting yourself to one or two isn't going hurt. My surgeon told me to drink red wine with my supper every night....one problem, I don't like wine. Plus nothing is better than a cold beer on a hot day, don't deprive yourself of that. (Plus the second...

I'm wondering if your machine is set-up properly. If your Coaguchek is set on "%Q" or "SEC" you might get a different readings as I am not sure what these other two setting's really do. Just a thought.

"Am I expecting too much at this stage ?" Maybe yes and maybe no as everyone heals differently, but if you're having problem sleeping see your doctor......you need your sleep to heal. I too had problems sleeping and got a mild sleeping pill from the doc which made a big difference. Good luck &...

Could it be hand eczema? I Googled "Hands peeling and leathery" and came across many possibilities the most notable one was hand eczema. Most informative: http://www.eczemahelp.ca/en/handeczema.html Best to get it check out by your doctor and/or a dermatologist.

Enjoy your half n half!

Try these for Canadian information.........I had a heck of a time to try to convince my GP about home testing and had to do my homework for my doc. As it turned out, my Cardio had no problem with it and gave me the prescription I needed for the monitor. I'd like to think that my GP has excepted...

Apparently, after the age of 50, one tends to gain weight. I too have gained 3lbs and have to work hard to keep on or below 130lbs. Some ppl are the exception to this rule (a.k.a Bina) Cheers

Perfectly described SB, thank you. Going to miss you "mom" God Bless Norma and her family

Thanks Bins for the up-date, many prayers continue for this very special member & friend and for Norma's family.

Don't despair gregjohnson, it took me months to get into my range. As for the small drop from 1.8 to 1.4, it was probably due to something you ate. But don't fret you will get there and testing once a week until you are in range is normal. As for the ones 'system' trying to fight the warfarin, I...

"Mom" as I called her is in my prayers

I had mine angiogram/cardiac cath in the right wrist, didn't feel a thing. I was awake and they rubbed a numbing solution from the base of the hand to the elbow and was told not to use that hand 12 hours......maybe it was 24....just remember it was a long time and had no pain afterwards...

When in doubt, check with your doctor.

Thinking of you Sir Tom, hope this recovery is bump free and you'll be swinging from the trees real soon.

FWIW. it takes approximately 3 days for a dosage change to be noticed. Personally I would go back to my normal dosage (in your case Tuesday) and test on Wednesday & Friday. By Wednesday you should see a small increase in your results,

Tuck & roll Yes it's pain full, but it will get better honest. Getting out of bed: Hug yourself tight, right hand on left shoulder, left hand on right shoulder and hold tight. Slowly inch your way to the edge of the bed by moving your 'butt'. Get your legs over the edge of the bed, this will...

You missed and I missed it. Congrats on #9, I'm one year behind you. Thank-you for being here and for being who you are. You always manage to put a smile on ones face. Now go have some cake, you deserve it. Cheers! and heres to many more anniversaries.

I too am glad to hear that the a-fib has resolved and pray that it doesn't return. Hopefully by now they have given you something and your system is working and moving along smoothly. Take Care
