I think that few people eat a proper breakfast these days. Most important meal of the day I was always told even if mine is a cup of tea and toast with peanut butter now at home. Only if I am staying away do I eat a proper breakfast which is why I always take my tablets with dinner. I would have thought that habit and inertia is more of a problem.
I don't think the time of day you eat is as important as what you eat . Getting the proper nutrients daily is probably more of a concern , but we are creatures of habit. I often eat left overs for breakfast. My husband thinks that is crazy. Guess I'm a wild one. Bob apatite, Pam
I get the feeling you're all too small with the meal when taking xaralto and probably not enough fat. You're all far too healthy with breakfast, except on Sunday that is.
I tried xaralto and had nose bleed. I requested going back to warfarin which I can have a simple finger test to make sure my INR is good. Importantly though, never a nose bleed. This just goes to show how easy it is to get things slightly wrong.
I take the warfarin during my main meal. Easy to remember to take it between main and pudding. You get into the habit of doing it. I also take my statin at the same time as that also needs to be taken with a meal.
When I finished dinner and having a cuppa I take my beta-blocker which needs to be taken after a meal.
Am I making a meal of my pill taking....excuse the pun?
I have just recently started taking my rivaroxoban at lunchtime not with evening meal as I previously did (I will soon explain why).
I would love to take it at breakfast but because I don't eat a substantial fatty breakfast this is why lunchtime is now the best alternative.
Since swapping the time of day I take it, has changed my life completely.
Before I had a very bad sleep pattern, constant waking, not sleeping any longer than 3 hours without waking, terrible dreams, I never had a restful nights sleep.
What a difference just changing the time of day I take rivaroxoban has made.
I now sleep through the night with only the occasional light dream, and wake feeling more refreshed than I have in years.
I cannot believe this small change has made such an impact on my life.
I have Edoxaban which I take in the evening, but from what you say, I am now wondering if this may be the cause of my restlessness for the first few hours of the night. I would like to try taking it in the mornings, but I'm not sure how to achieve this without extending the length of the dose gradually through successive nights. Any ideas?
I take 20mg Rivaroxaban and have always taken it after breakfast which consists of a bowl of porridge made with skimmed milk in the microwave. I add a good handful of either berries or a sliced banana then top it with a sprinkle of cinammon powder and a drizzle of honey. After a call to admin help desk about calorie and fat content with the above I was advised to add a slice of toast and butter but I preferred a toasted crumpet slathered in real butter. Hopefully this will be enough of course when on holiday I go the whole hog 😉
I have scrambled eggs & a cup of tea. On the weekends I add in a hash brown. If we go out for breakfast it's scrambled eggs, hash brown & bacon for me 😊
