Hi there folks. Although I`ve been reading about warfarin for quite a while now I`m still new at this myself as I`ve only been on it for 4 months since I had a mini-stroke caused by my narrowing tissue mitral valve. Anyway, I`ve had no problems with it and my range has been something between 2.5 and 3.5 which`s what they want, quite stable. However, because of some procedures I`ve needed done since then, I`ve had to come off it for a couple of times and take heparin jags on my tummy instead. Then I go back on it and within a few days it`s back to normal so I suppose I`ve been quite lucky there. Now I`ll be starting chemo in just under 2 weeks which would mess my INR up like crazy so from Tuesday on I`ll be put on heparing jags daily for a good few weeks at least. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? Will I feel sore and get all bruised after a few days? Thanks in advance!
