Been getting dizzy on and off today. Then here I was sitting on the couch and got absolutely light-headed and nauseated. Got up to go tell the hubby and my legs felt like jello. And then when I started talking to him i started crying and couldn't stop. So I took a xanax and am now starting to...

So I did my weekly home test yesterday and my results was a 3.5. I had to go to the doctor this morning for some woman stuff and she told me that she didn't know what to do with that reading whether she should make an adjustment or not. I am on 6mg monday, wednesday and friday and 8 mg the...

Does anyone have a hard time with heat and humidity after their surgery? I went to work yesterday and it was severely hot and humid inside i would say the temperature inside the building had to be over 100 degrees. Within an hour and a half of working i had a bout of a-fib that made me feel...

Well I am one week away from my first valvesary. My mind has been wondering lately. Thinking about where I was this time last year. This time last year all I wanted to do was sleep all day. And although I still take a nap on weekends some times, because work exhausts me by the end of the week...

Well I woke up on monday with the worst cold. By the time monday night rolled around I was so miserable I couldn't sleep. Went to the doc on tuesday because it had already gone to my lungs. She put me on biaxin 500 mg twice a day. And believe it or not it isn't helping. I had to test my inr this...

Within the last week or two while looking in the mirror before a shower I have noticed that my veins on my left side are so much more pronounced and noticeable than on my right. What is really strange I have never noticed this before. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this after having...

Well I finally received my coaguchek home monitor today and ran my first test on it while the trainer was here. Came out as 3.2. Which is great. The last couple of times I have been a little high. Nothing that really concerned me because I have never gone above 4. But I was concerned the last...

After fighting for 4 months to get my coaguchek monitor I finally received it today and have already did my training and ran a test. This is so great knowing that i will not have to go to hospital for my inr again. Wasting my time and gas money to go there. I'm so excited to be able to...

Well I am sitting in the waiting room at my cardiologist. It is my first visit with this cardio as the one I saw at cleveland clinic moved back to ireland. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well last night. I am positive it was nerves. The hubby the last week or so has been saying that he...

Just got off the phone with QAS and my monitor is on its way. I couldn't have gotten any better news today. I don't have to pay anything for it as I have already paid all out of pocket and deductibles for the year. Was told I should have it within 10 days. Thankfully as the husbands union went...

The people in my husbands union voted on a strike yesterday. So not only will he not be working because all the other people made a stupid decision right before christmas but as of midnight last night I have no health insurance. Thank god my coaguchek has already been approved because...

Called QAS on monday. I finally got someone helpful. And I was on the phone while she emailed asking to have my prescription form refaxed to gentiva and told me to call back in 48 hours. So I called back today. And was told it was refaxed. They gave me the intake number and the phone number it...

I don't know for sure but I think I might be starting to retain fluid. I have gained 10 pounds lately. Can't really say when I started gaining it but it has definitely been in the last couple of months since my last doctor's appointment. Not only that but I have been having more irregular...

Just wondering if anyone has gotten more headaches since they had their surgery? It seems like over the last month or two it seems like I have had many headaches. And lately it seems like I have had to deal with headaches almost on a daily basis. Some of them aren't bad enough to take tylenol...

well last month i was getting all prepared to start bridging when my appointment for my procedure was cancelled. the machine they use broke so they had to put it off a month. Last week i called to see if they had gotten it fixed and they scheduled me in for the 22nd. My pcp who takes care of...

Well went in to get my inr checked this morning. 3.3. Woohoo! Second time I've been in range since surgery. It has been 4 months since surgery. They want me to wait a month to test again which is about the only thing I am not comfortable with. But hopefully I'll have my machine by then which I...

I have a medical procedure tuesday morning. My doc has me starting to bridge friday morning with my last dose of coumadin taken on wednesday night. Figure that I will probably have to bridge for atleast 5 days. She has me getting an inr done the day before and then 2 days after the procedure...

I feel like I may be coming down with a cold after having a couple bouts of the flu in the last month. Just wondering what kind of cold medicine everyone uses? Do anything of them cause changes in ones inr? My doctors office don't start giving out their flu shots until october so I have to wait...

I can't wait until I can start home testing my inr. It just irks me when I go into to get my inr checked and I don't hear anything. Went to the hospital yesterday morning at 10 in the morning and I am still waiting to hear my results. Also went so far as to call the doctors office but ofcourse...
