    COVID Long Hauler Looking for Help

    Hi Johnny ! Sorry to read that your wife is a long hauler. It must be so very hard to endure this stupid Covid virus for so long. .. I'm thinking that if it was me, I would probably get the vacc, discuss ablation further, and not be afraid of a pacemaker implant. All the best to both of you.

    Testing INR with non-matching chip code using Coagucheck XS

    Eva, I don't think that it will ruin your machine. The code chips are for quality control, checking expiry date, etc. 🥰🙂

    Questions about old Roche Coaguchek verses new Roche Coagucheck monitor

    My experience with the Coaguchek XS is extensive. Living in Canada, I was able to buy the monitor in 2007 for the sale price of $ 500.00 It has been my best friend for the past 12 years and I couldn't imagine how many trips to the blood lab I would have made over the years had I not purchased...

    Bob, hoping that you don't need another surgery, and hoping that you just have a mini-hernia, if any at all. Last September my hubby came home from work with a serious inguinal hernia, that required a big surgery and lengthy hospital stay. But he is now rocking a gorgeous 4 inch scar. Remember...

    Recommendations For Home INR Machine

    COAGUCHEK XS------here in Canada, we can get a doctor prescription and buy it outright. Also, my personal insurance covers the cost of the test strips at 80 %. I have been using it since 2007.
