I've had my Protime 3 for many years. The other day I took my inr and just as it was warming up the tenderlett it ran out of "juice", so I took the tenderlett out and plugged the charger into the machine and then restarted it and again put the tenderlett in. It went through the usual things and when it beeped I took my inr. It gave me a reading of 1.9. I was rechecking my inr as it had been 3.6 three days ago and I was going out of town for 10 days and wanted to make sure that I was in a good range. Now the only thing that was different was that about a week ago I added ester C - 500mg to some other vitamins I've been taking for years, and also as I said the machine needed to be recharged. I looked up previous posts about ester c and no one seemed to think that there was a relationship between taking coumadin and the ester c. So do you think that it could have just been a fluke? I took it tonight and it's 3.2.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
