My insurance is Independent Health which is a local provider-- my insurance is Self- Funded through my company so its actually my company that creates the plan.. I plan on stating all those factors though if I have any issues..
As time has gone by I do feel like I know better then my clinic .. I...
I feel alot better hearing all your ideas and thoughts.. I always consider changing .. I have had tons of issues w/ the office since last year .. I just switched to a new cardio in the same practice who I like and my coumadin clinic is the same place. I also get my pacemaker checked. I live in...
Thanks for the support .. I really appreciate it.. I am glad I am not alone.. My INR is usually just +/- .2 or. 3 .. I haven't been under 2.0 since right after my surgery..
I am hoping to get my own meter soon..
but they would still dose me
Yes they change my dosage every week if I am not in my range ( 3 to 3.5) which is narrow.. Every week I am afraid/ nervous before I get tested and this week the nurse made me feel like I was doing something wrong..
Right now I take a multi vitamin w/o Vit K.. maybe I should change??
I eat other veggies .. I was just talking about high Vit K items-- I eat all other types daily
Just seems complicated to me
Thanks for the info though
They vary my dosage every week depending on my INR. This week I tested 2.8 yesterday so now I took 8 mg yesterday and 7 rest .. They change it all the time unless I am in range
I am in the process of trying to getting a meter -- It has been 1 1/2 yrs since my surgery-- I was just talking about...
My surgeon at Strong gave me this range and then asked my cardio at Strong if it was possible to change and he said no. Same w/ my cardio here in Buffalo.. they said because of it being double valve and I think my age.. I don't get it.. all the research and feedback from others say it is pretty...
Okay I hope u don't mind but I need to vent.. So I realized that there has been 31 weeks this year and I have had my INR tested 24 times.. Yes 24 times.. I have a range of 3.00 to 3.50 so kinda narrow .. also I am a 35 year old woman ..I really really try to be consitent w/ Vitamin K and...
I have a double valve and my surgeon set a range of 3.00 to 3.5.. which has been a challenge to keep.. Since January I have had my INR tested 14 times- most times I am just out of my range 2.6 to 3.7.. I want to self test but not sure if I can get a script from my cardio due to technically not...
I have St.Jude .. In terms of that no I didn't discuss options.. Dr.Peter Knight and we liked him alot.. I live in Buffalo so I was referred there by my cardiologist
Well it has been on year since my surgery.. definitely have a few issues with my coumadin dosage and a few other things.. I feel much better physically but still have some emotional ups and downs.. After 35 years of surviving CHD I feel more at peace with my path mostly due to my husband and...
