@Cooker @Philip B @Protimenow @Bina @Eva thank you all for your prompt responses ... my apologies on the delay of responding we had a power outage here and was unable to get back I did not realize that about soy which explains a lot. This is making me feel a bit better and less limited than I...

I think the last time I posted here was something about a green powder. I did not get that powder tho' I am considering a whole food one with nutrients for my vitamin intake. Plus, with a home test meter now I can keep a closer watch. I would still be eating along with the powder, it was just...

Thank you everyone ! I am ecstatic. No more jabs or waiting rooms.

Protimenow : On my second stick today I got enough blood to sample, had to squeeze the finger a bit. I do like the pen type lancets such as Softclix that I tried today. And yes, I am beginning to get the hang of this.

Thank you Bina ! At first I admit I thought it was going to hurt sticking myself. Well, I have tried it out and surprisingly it did not hurt when I did it. I did have to do it twice though because the first time I could get enough sample to test. The second time I used a different depth setting...

I just realized I may have placed the below post in the Anti-Coagulation instead of here ... I finally am a new owner of a CoaguChek XS as I read that was the latest model. It is so light and small. It came with 18 test strips so I am good for awhile. Also some capillary tubes. Is it weird...

Hi there : I finally am a new owner of a CoaguChek XS as I read that was the latest model. It is so light and small. It came with 18 test strips so I am good for awhile. Also some capillary tubes. Is it weird that I am excited. It'll be better than going to the hospital lab that is quite a...

Well, I was just curious about the super food because I don't take a vitamin is all. Yes, you are correct in the proper eating would also be beneficial. No, there is no eating disorder anymore. I really am on the road to getting healthier. I assure you I don't intend to harm myself. Yes, I...

Hello kind folks ... I am back. I know I kinda dropped off and I apologize. I am currently underweight and have atrophy issues that I am attempting to reverse. Anyway, with that said I use Brown Rice Protein Powder. Though, my concern is Vitamin K ... my whole life I was told to avoid it...

I am out of surgery, thank God no stroke. Was not butchered. Was just a bit nervous. I think the question you all may be wondering is did I stop the warfarin ? The answer is on Saturday, I took my normal dosage. Sunday and Monday half the dosage and Tuesday no dosage.

HAPPY birthday have an awesome day !

HAPPY birthday ... have a wonderful day !

Yeah ... I am not so sure how true the 10 minutes actually is. Wowzers, that was a long time Ross. As long as all goes well; I should be back here posting. I am hoping I don't get butchered.

Shakes head at those that recommend coming off blood thinners. It certainly does not comfort the patients. It is more of a liability thing for the professionals than for the patient. In my opinion it should be more of a safety thing for all involved. A stroke can be a lot harder to come back...

@Ross yes it is quite disturbing , I wish all of them were up to date on matters ... and yes, that is a consideration I almost imagine the shock on his face ha ha On the plus side, I am supposed to be knocked out for the procedure. The oral surgeon said it shouldn't take him more than ten minutes.
