If it were me I would make sure I would see a doctor today.

Not a thing you can ignore

Hope you feel better soon

Sorry to hear you're not feeling good. Have you cross checked your INR with a vein draw? I became unwell a few weeks ago and my Coaguchek was not reading right. Do you have an APS specialist you can contact? Best to make an appointment with your GP to get checked if not x

Please do go and get a medical review and get in touch with your main specialist as well as seeing the GP. MaryF

I agree with Yllek, who is today asking if you have double-tested your fingerprick-test with the blood-draw at the lab.

There is for me a difference between the two tests. Wery high readings give a bigger difference. Usually the difference is between an INR of 0,6 - 0,8. It is the vein-number that counts. The CoaguChek machine gives the higher reading in my case. Do not know in others.

Well worth trying, as it may be very important.

If you are Lupus Anticoagulant like me it could be the answer. I have asked before.
