Had an appointment wth prof hunt last Tuesday said my micro clots from my last brain scan was due to wafrin not working because of my antiphosolipid syndrome being to strong . Up my dose of aziophrine to 150 mg daily and hope that does the trick !!!

My wafrin crashed in February down to 2.4 my target is 4 and take injection when below 3 . Self test this Tuesday had crashed down to 2.6 . So basically has crashed twice in 4 months ??

Going to start to self test Tuesday and Friday from now on 😊

Very good. I can tell you that you are not alone with crashes.

Now you will see earlier when the INR tend to go up or down. Also you have your Fragmin-shot to take when under an INR of 3.0 or do I remember wrong now?

Good Luck with the testing!

Mine is all over the place as well. I tend to know when it's dropping though as I start to get numbness and tingling.

Self testing is a life saver! (Literally)

I have never been on Warfarin, so can't comment personally, but I do know people on here work hard, as team work with their consultants to try and get things as stable as possible or in some cases move onto different medication. MaryF
