Protimenow, I was before my TIA was going once a month and now that I had it my doctor has me coming in every two weeks if it's on the lower side 2.3-2.5 which is still good but wants to make sure I don't slip. If my Inr is good 3.0 -3.5 then he has me coming in every 3 weeks. I don't have a...

Yes I'm on Lipitor but my last TIA was this past July while I was on Lipitor. That was when my Inr was 1.5. I'm 39 6"3 about 230 and eating healthly.

Thanks to the both of you for responding. I have had two minor strokes and just wanted to make sure. I rather have carpal tunnel in my hands than my Inr to go down to 1.5 again and have another stroke. Thanks again for your help. Brian

Thanks Freddie, I searched another website and they recommend to stay away. That's why I ask. Other vitamens they tell you to stay away from also. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and my parents recommended 200mg of b6.

Anyone know if I can take b6 with warfarin. I take 9 mg of warfarin a day for my aortic valve, or should I stay away from it? Thanks Brian

I'm very sorry if this has been talked about before but I started getting pains in my sternum again a month and a half ago and they are very bad when I lay on my chest. I don't sleep on my chest but in the middle of the night I roll onto it and it hurts bad. I feel a popping sound when I roll...

Thanks Duffey! Every Birthday after my ohs is the best one ever.

Thanks Nelson and Bina!!!

thanks greg!!

Thanks to everyone who has answered.They checked for total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, Albumin, AST, ALT, ALK Phosphatase, and total protein. It was 7 not 8 so I was wrong lol. 5 of 7 were above normal levels. They increased my dose and haven't checked yet, but I was just wondering if my liver...

Thanks it helps alittle.My Alt is 128 and Ast is 80. They are high but not in the millions like your wife. I hope she gets better soon. There was about 8 blood tests for the liver they did for me and they were all higher than normal. I read that the liver has a lot to do with the body's natural...

My PC doctor has found out that my blood work for my liver has come back high for all levels. The doctor thinks it maybe Hep C or fatty liver but won't know for sure until a ultrasound (which I just Had) and more blood work. My question is that, my Inr has been on the lower side for several...

thanks so much for your help.

Thanks Al. How do self testers get coumadin? Do they have to call a doctor to call in a prescription? Do doctors have to prescribe meters?

Thanks Jkm

I know Dan. Yesterday was a strange stressful one. I had my ohs 1 1/2 years ago and I walked out of the hospital with an Inr of 1.7 and none of the doctors then put me on Lovenox and within a week later was within the range. I move to another state and another cardio practice and some of the...

Herb, I am looking as I speak. My level today was 2.1 ( yesterday 2.2) and I saw a different nurse today who said she couldn't understand why I was on Lovenox and also why I was back today, when I only had 1 night of a dose change. She talked to a different doctor who had the same feelings as...

Thanks so much protimenow, you are very helpful. I will be looking into self testing. I have been reading a lot of great threads on this site on this matter. If they panic over a 2.2 reading, then I hate to see what they would do over a 1.7 reading.Thanks again for your help

Thank you all so much for your advice. I'm not worried at all over my 2.2 level. I am worried like everyone has said about the roller coaster affect the shots and the double dose will play. My dosing gose (or should I say went as) 6 mg 7 days a week. My doctor who just left the practice...

I was told anything under 1.9 with an aortic mech. valve than I would but I'm 2.2. I don't want to go in tomorrow and be 4.0 or higher. I haven't been off on my inr in a while and it seems they panic when it does.
