Vitdoc, that's the most in-depth explanation I've seen yet. Thanks so much for posting. Very helpful information to know and given what you've stated, I feel even more confident now that the blood thinner is not the cause.

Yes, I believe they are on the East Coast. I always go with the free shipping which is standard usps shipping and gets delivered within a few days to a week, but there are options for expedited shipping at additional cost which i have never had to use because I always order well ahead of...

Thank you pellicle and tom for your responses. I wanted rule out the possibility of any connection of the vision issue to the meds. It does seem that its more likely than not unrelated. This is a great forum and your help is much appreciated. I will be reading and adding my two cents where I...

I have been getting my test strips on Reliaston.com with no problems at all. I used to get them on Ebay and have tried a few other online stores, but found this to be the best source.

I would definitely recommend Reliaston. I had purchased on Ebay for a while until I found Reliaston - a much better online source for test strips. Very reliable, great customer service, and most reasonable prices. I tried Selfcaredepot one time and not as good as Reliaston. The problem I had...

I've looked into several of these subscription places and it's just not worth the hassle and the costs when you can do self-testing on your own. They are all just middle men. I've ben self-monitoring on my own for over 5 years now. The meters and test strips are available online at reasonable...

I've been on Coumadin since 2018 and in January of this year I started to experience some vision issues in my right eye - particularly flashes in peripheral regions. Optomoligist determined it to be 'Posterior Vitreous Detachment' and told me that it should get back to normal in a month or two...
