I am able to take NSAIDS. But you have be monitored more carefully when you are on them on a daily basis. I can only take Tylenol and only when there is pain. I have to talk to my doctor soon about the neuropathy pain. Can't just take anything. Yuck. Keep hanging in there.

I have mine done at a lab that is handled by a doctor on site. Have been happy with the set up. Not sure of trying to do it at home. Diabetes can hamper the mind at times. But good for you. Keep hanging in there.

They do me the same, 2.0 to 3.0.

I hardly drink and gave up smoking 22 years ago.

Arnold is not a story of failure, for sure he had two repairs and a then a valve replacement of the aortic valve. You got the message mixed up, for getting a mechanic valve and warfarin is not a failure at all. And women have had children while on warfarin. I do not know where you are getting...

That is the life of USA health care. Very wasteful and hard on others. Good luck in getting destressed from this.
