Hi everyone,
Just got back from the Anticoagulant Clinic and my INR level is 1.10, since a week last friday i have been on 10mg Warfarin, last friday when i went to clinic my INR Level was 2.90, for the last 3 weeks i have been on 10mg and it just keeps dropping, they have now put me on 15mg today and tomorrow and sunday back to 10mg, then go back to see them Monday, i have been on Warfarin since October 2008 and have had loads of problems with it going up and down, usually when it gets to 1.40 i have the injections in my Tummy, but today there was nobody at clinic who could prescribe the injections. I had a Aortic valve replacemnt had a mechanical Valve fitted which means im on Warfarin for the rest of life, and i had a Mitral Valve repair. I have been reading on here that some people know when there levels are high or low, and they know when its spot on, i dont feel any different weather its high or low, the only thing this week is i have been so tired sleeping in the afternoon, going to bed at 8 at night, could this be due to my levels been so low.
I would be grateful for any advice as i seem to be spending my life at the Anticoagulant Clinic, im on first name terms with all the staff now LOL
Thanks for any help
