Thought I'd let you know what's been happening after INR was over 10 on 28th June. Next day it was 2.6 because they administered VitK. Went off to London for a Pre Surgery Day at the heart hospital where my valve will be repaired/replaced. Was staying in the accommodation block prior to the day of the seminar when I started to have bleeding. I reported to hospital staff but the hospital had no A&E and they wanted to send me to a different hospital. I decided to return home and went to my local hospital where I was admitted. More Vit K and investigations, Upshot is that I now will need some other surgery.
(for a polyp). INR was 7.6 then 1.3, 1.2 - yesterday 6.4 - checking again tomorrow. Don't feel too bad today - maybe because I'm not having Warfarin, not since Sat evening. Trying to get my head around all this trauma and hoping for better days!

So sorry you're having such a rough time. Just to let you know I'm thinking about you and sending lots of positive thoughts. Hope you can manage to take it just one day at a time at the moment. Every good wish to you. Keep in touch.
 
INR going crazy

INR going crazy

My INR levels have been going up and down for 6 months now. I go every friday & then have to have bloodwork again on monday.
I stay away from leafy green veggies. I have been on 7.5mg 4 days a week and 5mg 3 days a week and friday before last my INR was 4.0, then the following monday 3.8 and today (monday) it was 1.8. So now i am taking 7.5 mg all week. Oh and i am taking 325mg of aspirin every day. It is starting to really get to me. They can only get blood from my left wrist (ouch). I know what your going thru, I have never had a problem bleeding but i have had emergency surgery to remove bloodclots from my right arm, ( the bronchail artery, i know i spelled it wrong) in 1995. I have been on coumadin for almost 11 yrs. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
