3.5 mg increase

[lance]

Seven days ago INR was 2.6 and I was advise to increase by 3.5 mg warfarin.

I'm happy to say INR to-day was 2.8.

Initially I thought an increase of that much would result in a higher reading than that.

So things are looking up.

There is very little difference between 2.6 and 2.8. If your anything like me, it can be like this this week and 3.3 next week.

Garth,

I wondered what happend and now I'm very pleased to learn that you have your own monitor. There are not too many home testers in Ontario. When I started 2 /2 years ago I was the eleventh patient taught bt Tor. Gen. Hosp.

Ross,

For at least 6 months 73-73 1/2 mg kept me in range. Yesterday's recommended dose for the week has been increased by 3 mg. Because of the cold and wind I'm not going out very much and I'm surprised my INR is level is going down. Just to the barn and looking after the pony. Our dog, a Ridgeback--smooth coat, goes out long enough to do what has to be done. Even with a coat she is uncomfortable pushing through the deep snow. Oh well, it will soon be spring.

Cheers
