Well...I don't understand it. 2 weeks ago I was 1.8 on my home tester and 1.5 at the clinic. I admit ,I was eating a lot of salads and exercising a lot also.So we upped the dosage and I slacked off on the salads...10mg during the week and 7.5 on the weekends.Next test last Tuesday...2.1 ...better..and going up as it should.
Today...1.6 on my home tester...wondering if i should go to the clinic for a confirmation.
Here's the variable that was thrown into the mix on Friday...I had splinter in my finger that I couldn't get out last week ...By friday it was infected and swollen etc so i had to go to the doctor . She removed the splinter and thought it would be a good idea to put me on antibiotics because I was 10 weeks post OHS VR.
Now the QUESTION ....Is the antibiotic(cephalexin)counteracting the coumadin and affecting my INR ???
Or am I just some sort of freak ???
Does 10 days worth of antibiotic therapy for an infected finger sound a bit excessive(I should probably go to the dentist while I'm on these antibiotics)
Advice???
Thoughts???
Thanks ...Tim
