Hi Pellicle I Am a self tester. I use Phillips INR service. I also email my Cardiologist every Monday and he always emails back w advice to stay the same or to adjust as he tells me. I never had a polip. The time I did use Lovenox was with a different doctor and again I had no polip. So I read...

Hi Everyone, I have been off the blog for almost 2+ years because my husband died of a heart attack 11/28/21. It has been a terrible journey and I miss him . But here I am, because I need a colonoscopy/endoscopy. My gastro said he had a new technique with clips and I only had to skip one dose...
