trip to ER last night

[Lisa in Katy]

When I say my INR is stable, I don't mean it's the same reading each time. It has been as low as 2.3 and as high as 3.9, but I haven't had an adjustment in Warfarin in at least a few years. I personally don't like when it's 2.3, so without telling the doctor, I'll take a little more Warfarin for about a week, which works to bump it back up. Assuming the lower number was caused by something I ate, I then resume my regular dose.

Gee, I must be doing something right. I've been holding 2.5 since Jan 22/08
I know I'm not normal, thats why I'm here.

What are you holding at 2.5? Enquiring minds would like to know.
