- I am thinking of taking a dive trip next year that is fairly remote, probably 3-4 hours to the nearest hospital. I've spoken to one of the leading blood docs in the nation (specializes in pediatric hemophilia) and she polled her colleagues, who...
- Actually, I rode a few bumpy rides at Disneyland, but a cuople screaming roller coasters. And thinking about planning a dive trip to Indonesia next year (not the warfarin I'm stressed over, it's the $$).My horizons continue to re-expand despite...
- And I am lighter, faster and better than I have ever beenMarch 2010 went on coumadin for life...errr, "indefinitely"... for my second unprovoked clot.At the time of my clot, I was active, did ran road races races, triathlons, swims, skied, scuba...
- Two year ago when I got my machine and started home testing, I was on Aetna and they covered it all (or most after deductible, 80/20). Includes test strips.This year my employer switched to United healthcare and apparently altho UH covers home...
- I take studies with a grain of salt, but interesting discussion.http://www.chestnet.org/accp/article/new-dvt-guidelines-no-evidence-support-economy-class-syndrome
- Happens even to some of the fittest athletes in the world. Bummer news, he's a very popular rider and this was to be one of his best seasons, having won the Tour of...
- March 18, 2010, shortness of breath caued me to go to the ER. I knew what they were already, my second round of PEs, and "indefinite" coumadin. Had some pretty bad infarction the first time, after I got out of the hospital I got winded on slow...
- That they told you not to? I hope this post doesn't cause too much consternation, and is taken in the spirit offered, but when I was first diagnosed in July 2009, there was a whole laundry list of things I was not to do on coumadin (not all of...
- In my never ending quest to live my life as normally as possible as a pre PE person, despite being a coumadin lifer (I've returned to cycling and did my first post-PE triathlon last Sunday, first one in 17 months), I just got a call from the diving...
- I went back on coumadin in March 2010 due to recurrence of clots after SOB. Breathing returned to normal fairly quickly. About 5 weeks ago I went through a fairly intense course of antibiotics for an infection, and shortly thereafter got the same...
- Coumadin lifer. INR normal if not a bit high due to antibiotics. Had some shortness of breath for the last few weeks, only a little concerned since I had the same SOB during my initial 6 month course and that month had a clear CT, and my INR was...
- I am receiving my coagucheck this week, along with the first 6 months of supplies. I am that the company providing the machine will provide the strips thru insurance at a cost of $48 per 6 months.Does $48/6 months seem reasonable based on what you...
- at the risk of TMI, which is kinda hard on this board, last week I had a cyst on my inner thigh that started to get worse, to the point I thought it might be getting infected. Currently don't have a GP, so went to the urgent care. Yep, infected,...
- I am on a triathlon web forum, and someone posted this in the injuries section. Man, can anyone relate? it's really hard for me not to be alarmist about these things when people talk about their symptoms, I hope I don't come off this way to them. ...
- Just looking ahead, does anyone know if there are guidelines or a protocol for who is or may be eligible for a low intensity (1.5-2 INR) protocol? The only thing I've seen is that APS would probably require 2-3.I thought I read that someone was on...
