Hi everyone,
I have a couple of different issues going on right now...
Last week I started Nexium, 40 mg a day. My INR was 3.3 on Monday, yesterday (Thursday) it was 6.6. I have been having leg weakness, diziness, and bad headache and I feel confused (or slow)
Plus, I need to begin an antibiotic (Cipro) because I now also have a UTI with blood in my urine.
The Coumadin Clinic told me to hold FOUR days. I'm not so sure about this! (past stroke in July).
I am not sure what to do because I know my INR is going to be more out of wack due to the Cipro but, I'm not sure how much to hold.
Last week I had an incident and I don't remember what transpired. I was at a friends house looking at one of those clothes lines people sell at their house when I noticed my eye site was getting blurry. I felt like I was in a dream state and got a headache. I don't remember this but, I told my good friend nearby that I felt weird and had a headache and told her that I was leaving. She insisted that she drive me home but she said that I became adimant that I was fine and left. I don't remember driving home, I do remember 'waking up' in front of Chili's resturant wondering what I was doing there. Apparentally I must have gone in and ordered some food to go (I don't remember this either)
The next morning I woke up and wondered why I was so hungry. I saw Chili's in the fridge and asked my husband what happened..he told me that I walked in, set the food down and went straight to bed. I told him I had a headache before going to bed. He knew I was tired before I ever went to the party and just thought I wasn't feeling well once I got home. I don't know what couldv'e happened to me if I was still able to operate a car? (my INR had been 1.5 a few days before this and the day before this happened I was at 2.1)
My Nuerologist' wife had a horse riding accident and is now a parapalegic and I need to switch Docs. I was supposed to see him in Jan. for follow-up and I really need to see someone.
Is there anyone you recommend in the Fort Worth- Dallas area?
sorry there are so many questions!! I don't feel like there is anyone in my hometown that I trust to ask so many crazy questions.
thanks,
Deana
