after taking Tricor for 4 years (half of a 145mg tablet), my PCP requested I take the full tablet every night. Very quickly, I started to receive leg and hip pain. I stopped, and the pain went away. I then started again, and quickly the severe pain came back. I explained the muscle pain and both...

Yesterday, I went to have a nuclear stress test due to heaviness in chest and sharp pains. performed the stress test for 10 minutes (which is pretty goof for walking and running on an incline) and then ate lunch (no caffeine, just a veggie burger). I went back to continue and the tech asked me...

I have high cholesterol. Before AVR surgery, my total cholesterol was over 600. The cardiologist said in his 25 years of practicing he hasn't ever seen cholesterol this high. Since then, and after taking half a 145mg Tricor my cholesterol has gone down to 250 (I'm taking the full 145 mgs now)...

I've been trying to take my INR for the past couple of days. (I've been sick). Every time I poke my finger, blood is almost nonexistent. I have taken my Coumadin regularly. any suggestions?

taking coumadin at bedtime and sleeplessness. Is there a correlation? once I take Coumadin, I suddenly lose my tired feeling. Is this in my head?

I bought out of network (stupid on my part). Last year, I purchased a Cougachek XS from Tapestry Medical. I bought replacement strips today. 3 boxes for 80 dollars each (6 strips in a box). Does anybody know where else I can buy test strips for the Cougachek XS? I'm happy with them, but want to...

http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2475/2 after you check out the link, let me know if this is accurate? romaine seems to be much lower in Vitamin K than other types of lettuces. I understand dose the diet, but if I eat a nice chicken ceasar (sp?) salad twice a...

I see a lot of blueberry types of juices out in the supermarkets today. I know raw blueberries have a dramatic effect on INR, but what about blueberries in a juice form? I'm assuming because it's juice, and there isn't a skin for the blueberry it may be okay. just wanted confirmation. I want to...

I thought I was over this problem since surgery. I had problems with elevated liver numbers with Lipitor including joint pain. I really thought I was over this especially after not eating any foods with cholesterol. cardio says that my body creates its own cholesterol. bummed. starting taking...

what time do you take Coumadin daily? I've been taking it later at night. just wondering when it should be taken, and the effects of taking it later at night.

tried to test 3 times with my Cougachek but I received error code 5 (not enough blood?) anyway, I'm a little frustrated now, and I'll wait till tomorrow to cool down. I asked my PCP to prescribe Niacin(prescription formula for cholesterol), and he said he didn't think it would affect the INR. I...

I must admit that in the beginning of post-surgery, I was having a lot of problems. I was getting bad rashes, diarrhea, and overall not good. Since getting off all of the other drugs, I feel great. The Lipitor has been making my body ache, head hurt, hungry and tired. I faxed my PCP today...

Saturday INR-3.5 Tuesday Evening after taking (2) 30 mg of COQ10 earlier that morning (for joint pain from Lipitor) Tuesday INR-2.1

I tested myself a couple of times during 3 days (once at the cardiologist). both readings were 3.0 -BINGO! I have been wanting to try Sam-E for mood stabilization. I took it the next day at 8am. tested my INR at 3pm. INR was 3.4. So, I gather that Sam-E elevated my INR results.

my cardio swears it's only a rash and not hives. the dermatologist told me it is caused by something on the outside of my body that I'm allergic to and gave me cream that doesn't work (the second one she prescribed). I have never had a rash my entire life, and now I have it behind my armpits...

when the tech took my blood yesterday, he said to me, "Wow, your blood is toxic!. I asked him what that meant and he said the blood was very oxygen rich. ??????? I did have ablood transfusion in the hospital and immediately I started itching like crazy. Currently, I have this rash that I'm...

:( :( Sometimes we want to believe that someone that has been doing something for a while can give you the inside track on how to avoid something and replacing it with something more desireable. I tested the waters and found out the truth. There aren't any shortcuts with Coumadin. It's nothing...
