I went today to get my INR checked. It was 1.64. Lovely. I guess I ate too much Vitamin K this week. This is the first time I've had any issues with a low INR since I switched over to brand name coumadin.

I have been sick since last Friday with a Kidney infection. I made the mistake of letting it go untreated until Monday night. Now I'm on meds but feeling like it has gotten much worse....ugh!

So, Laura, Sharon and Cupcake have got me thinking...yes, perhaps it is time for a change! I need to embrace the PE's...and kind of love them (in a wierd way!)
Although, everything about the illness has been totally rubbish...and the whole thing has completely turned my life upside down...I realise - finally, that if it wasn't for the PE's, I would of missed out on so many positive exp...2 Recommendations6 Comments -
Hi, everyone! I'm obviously new to the site, so here's the scoop, minus a lot of details, because THOSE are many, long, and BOR-R-R-R-RIIIIINNG. And after re-reading all this I'm *STILL* too longwinded and too boring, probably. But plow through it. It may be helpful, as I INTEND it to be!
About 2 and a half years ago, something happened. Slight stinging pa...1 Recommendation53 Comments
