I'm a few weeks into the world of Warfarin now and wondering about home monitoring ?
I mentioned this to my visiting nurse the other day who seemed to think it was prohibitively expensive, atleast £1000 ($1500?) !
What have people on here paid for such kits please ?
Sometimes these health care people dont always seem know what they're talking about. When I was in hospital and worrying about Warfarin issues and having to make regular trips to the local surgery for life I asked a nurse how often I'd have to go, she replied "every day to start with but not to worry because after a few months I'd only have to go a couple of times a week" !! That was just what I didn't want to hear ! Oh, and of course she was completely wrong !
Ps... Happy 2009 to one and all X
