Hello again Wow, trying to find info on the web about different lancet gauges is like pulling teeth. Currently using 21 gauge and not entirely satisfied. Anybody out there using anything less than 21 gauge? I've got my Softclix applicator set the highest at 5.5, just barely seeing any blood...

I'm a male and cannot keep a bracelet or necklace from breaking and/or losing them. Anybody out there have the same problem? They either get caught in my clothes or break apart while I'm sleeping. I'm now considering getting a small "warfarin" or "coumadin" tatoo done on the inside of my...

I've read recently about the excellent health benefits from Chaga (a type of mushroom that grows on white birch trees after they've died). You make tea from it. Wondering if anybody knows and has used it while being on Coumadin?

A bit late but it's been 3 years on January 24th, metallic BAV. All's good on coumadin.:D

Is it just me? I have noticed that about a year and a half after starting to take Coumadin that my nails have needed trimming quite a bit more often. Didn't notice this right away but then it started to dawn on me. Anybody else notice this or am I going insane? lol.

Would just like to clarify that I paid $498.99 for my unit and not $459.99 like I had previously stated in an other thread. The pharmacy had quoted the old unit, the S, not the XS. This thread can be closed if you wish. I would have posted this in the relevant thread but it's closed.

Finally:biggrin2:.... I'm having a problem getting a good blood sample. Spoiled a few strips:frown2:, my fault. I didn't have to use them if I didn't think the drop was big enough, silly me. I've got my lancet device up to 5. They say not to pinch the finger, only to massage it. I had my...

Came across a fellow coumadin user and avr recipient in my town, the same type valve, the same hospital as me, etc. I was curious to find out what range they had set. The person told me 2.0-4.0. I didn`t say anything for fear to worry the person but is this range a bit wide:confused2:? Not...

Having back problems along with severe spasms. My doctor's next move may be an MRI, had a catscan recently. She is wondering if there were any problems getting an MRI while the person has a metallic mechanical valve. In other words, could the valve cause false readings to the MRI? I realize...

Recently been taking Statex for severe lower back pain and had not eaten for a few hours prior to taking. Took my regular dose of coumadin (4mg) at noon with lunch. At 14:00, I became nauseated (almost certain from the statex on an empty stomach). Should I have taken another dose of coumadin...

I've been on coumadin for 11 weeks now for an AVR. I will be having my two wrists done within the next couple of months for CTS. I'm guessing there are a few members here who are on coumadin and have had this done. Was wondering what procedure, if any, did your surgeon used to counteract the...

While this is not a recipe question, it does pertain to food. Can a person on coumadin rely on the list of nutritional value that's printed on the packaging? In other words, if vitamin K is not listed at all on the packaging, can we assume that there is not sufficient vitamin k for us to...
