Yes Jo, I know that others find that very successful. I am wary because I believe that you shouldn't change your diet to 'fix' the INR but that the dose should be right for your diet. I just don't like the nurse being so reliant on a computer programme rather than using that plus knowledge of patient plus common sense. I self test but as my INR is all over the place reluctant to self adjust - and I would have to do that without telling the nurse - which would really confuse things.
I found Warfarin was pulling me down - I know some people adjust ver quickly but I felt it was taking over my life!! Thank the Lord my consultant switched me to a NOAC - I am much happier. Maybe you should consider a switch. No testing, eat whatever I want, no going back and forward to clinics - definitely a happier bunny!! Patricia.
My EP instructed me to come off Dabigatran before my 4th ablation and go back onto warfarin. Unfortunately a clot was discovered and so I am still on Warfarin waiting the 4-6 months for it to be re-absorbed.
Have they found an antidote for Debigatran yet? When I started taking it over 2 years back, I wasn't told there was no antidote until I found out myself and then requested to be put back on Warfarin, WHIV
