Do document symptoms. And if you develop greater shortness of breath you would need to be checked out ASAP.

Hi Amy,

I wonder how often you test your iNR and if you are selftesting?

Earlier you had an erratic INR. When we are not properly anticoagulated it can make us feel horrible.

I hope you are not clotting? If you bend at elbow, does it worsen? The cephalics can superficially clot and cause dull aching also. ( sounds a little too familiar for my liking. But as APsnotFab says... many reasons.)

I think a little sticky blood can also cause General Lower o2 saturation to little diffuse musculature - so that’s more likely?

Connective tissue disease umbrella overarching diagnosis causes joint and muscle discomfort?

Are you primary/ secondary? ( and do they actually at the end of the day really know?

Hi Amy,

How often do you test your INR? What therapeutic level are you put on at present?
