Toronto general Hospital on University Avenue.

I applaud “dose the diet” not diet the dose. Anticoagulation may take a while to adjust to, however being on it since 1999 everything has gone well. It’s a good thing to get your own test machine if possible. good luck.

That’s my experience with XS as well.

I’m sorry to learn this.

As I remember, the worst was prior to the surgery itself. I can’t recall the number of times the surgery was cancelled including the day I was pre-sedated. Following surgery everything proceeded as per expectations although I thought a little slow. I’ve been fine ever since. no strokes or...

Don’t I just hate it when an anti-coagulant is referred to as “blood thinner”. It’s very confusing. Does the new doc mean anti-platelet or warfarin? Thanks Tom in Mo I agree totally with you.

100 mcg of Vit. K plus D3 daily—same tablet.

Couldn’t agree more.

Not sure, too long ago, but I thought the “S” and the “XS” both took the same strips. Based on my experience with the “S”, I’d be surprised if any were still in service. Not sure what to make of the newer model and I’d totally forgotten what “S” Looked like just remembering it was big, bulky...

No, I didn’t realize John Cameron Swayze was related to Patrick. Small world. Now I wonder if he can dance, too. My Coaguchek S stopped working while in warranty and would have been replaced free of charge with another S. The XS was just released to the market, had been recommended to me so I...

Good morning , i just noticed this post now. So there was a time your XS gave a test result significantly different from the lab. I had thought XS, if broken, wouldn’t test at all. What is meant by “died”. I’m asking because my XS has been in use since 2006. Last week XS was dropped to the...

Is yours silzone?

that is very surprising because warfarin usually comes on 1, 5 and 10 mgs. tablets. Maybe you could ask druggist about what’s available In your area.

Cardiologist probably right. I missed the clicking at first.

Oh boy. Things have to be complicated don’t they? Grey market might be what happens to the returned monitors.

I’m Canadian, bought my first Coaguchek S in 2004, replaced it with Coaguchek XS two years later and have self tested weekly since then. Those machines were bought outright. The S from a pharmacy, the XS bought directly from Roche when S broke down while under warranty. Doesn’t Roche sell...

That’s exactly how I remember it. I found the clicks very soothing at bed-time and could take my pulse while listening. Not everyone feels this way.

St. Jude valve received January, 1999.

My St. Jude was audible when first received diminishing over time. I occasionally hear it now and the individual clicks are not so distinct (precise). All well though.

Interesting! This is the first time I’ve learned 2.5 mg tablets existed. If you don’t mind being asked what is the brand name?
