You will feel better! I didn't feel that I had any symptoms. It used to take me 2 days to clean up one side of my house in the spring, now that part of the yard is a snap and I can continue doing yard work. I can out work my S/O with no problem and my fellow co-workers lol For me, that's how I...

Slipkid, you need to get a prescription for 1mg of warfarin

What your sister says makes sense. Going from 5mg to 7.5mg is rather a big jump in dosage. What was your last INR result? Speaking for myself (and maybe a few others) a slow increase in dosage of 5% is better than making a large increase. Otherwise you may find yourself on a 'roller coaster'...

Maybe you don't need any more pain killers? I don't suggest even trying Voltaren. Individuals taking oral blood thinners or anticoagulants (for example, warfarin [Coumadin]) should avoid diclofenac (Voltaren) because diclofenac also thins the blood, and excessive blood thinning may lead to...

Like Dick has mentioned and according to the online dosage web site (http://www.pace-med-apps.com/CoumCalc.htm): decrease dosage 10% check INR in 4 to 8 days. New dosage is according the web site: Day 1: 6mg, Day 2: 6mg Day 3: 6mg, Day 4: 7mg, Day 5: 6mg, Day 6: 7mg, Day 7: 6mg Don't panic, eat...

from Drugs.com/ interaction Using warfarin together with traMADol may cause you to bleed more easily. You may need a dose adjustment based on your prothrombin time or International Normalized Ratio (INR). Call your doctor promptly if you have any unusual bleeding or bruising, vomiting, blood in...

Personally I wouldn't think after 9 months the chest would be still cracking and would ask the doctor. It doesn't hurt to get it checked out and get an x-ray done. The bone should already be healed.

My first thought with the brown spots could be 'age spots' as for the raised red spots, I have one on my arm. It's slightly raised and just thought another beauty mark was appearing, but I really don't know what either could be in your case. If you're somewhat concerned, ask your doctor. Sorry...

I've had may fair share with bruising, in fact I have one on my thigh right now that's a size and shape of an egg if not bigger - INR 3.3 and I've had a black eye and I know how it happened in both occasions. ICE is the answer, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. I saw the doctor when I had the black...

Personally I found that when you are caught off guard without your pillow and you have a quick choking/cough or sneeze, giving yourself a firm hug helps with the pain. Another little trick that I learned years ago for when you feel that sneeze coming is to lightly rub that "tickle" you feel on...

Wow, this is really odd. They used two different monitors and basically the results were the same. The only thing I can think of is the possibility of the monitors are on 1 of 2 different settings (beside the INR setting). On the Coaguchek XS unit you can set the monitor to read in a %Q - which...

A Canadian Newfie........Welcome to the forum my fellow Canuck Thanks for sharing your experience and it's fantastic to read that you're doing well. Keep up the walking. Cheers (I love NFL, was in St Johns last year - I live in Prairies and really enjoyed your Ice Berg Beer)

Check your other thread. Hands are washed with warm water and the first drop is to used. You can also place your finger on the edge of the strip so your sample can be "sucked up".

Aggie, you mention that "they" wipe the the first drop off. With the coaguchek XS monitor you/"they" are suppose to use the 1st drop of blood. Also, what are they wiping it with? A dry gauze or with alcohol? Rubbing alcohol is not necessary and could also effect the results. FWIW

Getting a hairdryer through customs... A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest beside her, 'Father, may I ask a favour?' 'Of course, child. What may I do for you?' 'Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is...

Birthday Greeting to you Miss Duffy. Hope your day is extra special. Cheers to You young lady

Been thinking about you this morning Sir Cooker and you've been 'feeling' the vibes.......best wishes from me too.

Not sure why these procedures are being done to you Sir Cooker, but you've got all of my prayers & (((hugs))) too.

My instructor told me, 'that you do not need refrigerate the CoaguChek XS test strips'. PTN may think it's a good idea to put them in the refrigerator on hot days, problem with that is on hot days your refrigerator runs longer and more often, which in turn makes items somewhat colder. I also...

Mina - it's not recommended in Canada, and as you said: 'As far as I understand it is true that Plavix isn't as easily reversed as warfarin'. I suggest you start another thread on Plavix if you wish, so this thread doesn't get 'highjacked' from Prem's initial question.
