This may be one of the strangest threads I've posted.
I'm asking about being 'addicted' to testing the INRs, and I don't think I've gotten it THAT badly yet. I still test every week or two - although I have the supplies to do it more often. I don't go overboard in the number or the frequency of the tests I make.
But I REALLY ENJOY the feeling of empowerment that it gives me each time I prepare for a test, each time I do the test, and each time I record the results on my spreadsheet. I don't think I'm getting an endorphin rush from a tiny incision in my finger. I don't know that there is anything 'physical' that's happening -- but I really enjoy the feeling of doing the test, reviewing the test, and being able to do a test at all.
I won't ask if this is crazy.
Does anyone else have similar feelings about doing their own INR testing?
