https://investors.artivion.com/static-files/65e64285-adde-46c8-a0af-dc67b93977da I stumbled upon this study update, interesting results for lower INR. I think I will remain 2-3 range!

My experience with cattle feed is if clover/sweet clover gets put up not dry enough it will mold and create Coumadin. The only way to feed it safely is to feed good non clover hay or silage for 2days and then 1 day of the high coumadin hay/silage. Otherwise cattle will bleed excessively during...

Lab INR results 2.2, same as Inrange meter 2.2

I did my first test today with my new meter and only managed to ruin one test strip(not enough blood) INR 2.2. The instructions says begin at 2.5 for lance depth I ended up using 4.5 trial and error. Right after testing at home I went to have my regular blood test for INR probably about an...

Not sure, maybe could order from Canadian store and use coupon. $519 Canuck bucks = $380 usd, the coupon would be worth $110 usd.

Hi, welcome. I had surgery on Feb 14, replaced BAV with a mechanical valve and repaired aortic aneurysm. Surgery went well and recovery is progressing steadily. When I first was told of impending surgery I scared, but as time went on and 3 date postponements I found myself looking forward to the...

I down loaded the coupon from the coaguchek web site, and redeemed it at whitecrossdispensary.com.

I ordered a new tester, test strips and lances, supposed to be here on the 8th. Not cheap the tester alone $519.00 fortunately rouche has a $150.00 coupon but I feel it is worth it. 3 times in 6 weeks I have tested below 2 INR, it seems as I feel better and become more active it is taking more...

This my new ride!

Yes, I got light headed for a while and during the afternoons was very tired and lazy. My blood pressure was on the low side, I am on two different blood press meds and was taking both in the AM, they told me to take one in the AM and the other in PM it seemed to help a lot.

I guess I should read the posts more closely.

4 weeks ago today I had my bav replaced with a mechanical valve and had my ascending aorta aneurysm repaired. I am 63yrs old and the surgeon would have done a tissue valve but he was happy that I choose the mechanical valve. As far as long term survival who knows, but the valve will likely last...

Finally been home a couple of days. My release got delayed a day because of rhythm and rate issues electrolytes and meds have it under control. Now to heal quietly and a regular INR check last one was 2.3 steady with 4mg until Tuesday’s test.

To begin with a lab will do bloodwork, I expect to get my own tester.

Well looks like I’m on the way home tomorrow. Home will be nice less commotion, familiar bed and good cooking. INR hovering around 2.5 will likely require some close monitoring for a while.

Not sure, they were applied previously.

I had a little setback, was coughing and felt lightheaded and reached for the bed for support well the wheel brakes were off an it slid off and I had a face plant on the floor. CT scan says all good.

Script required in Canada, l believe for health care reimbursement. Seems like they can be purchased without.
