Any suggestions to sitting in hospital for hours waiting for INR test
I'm 26 and on warfarin for a mechanical aortic valve inserted in April 23. I need to be tested very regularly, normally every 2 weeks atleast. It must be a blood test as the pin prick tests proved unreliable in my case. I spend hours and hours waiting at St Barts for a blood test which is where I am

Good news for me!
Saw the Rheumatologist yesterday & Doctor today. Rheumy wants me to taper 1/2mg every 6 weeks instead of 1mg every 4 weeks. Doctor is more than happy to discontinue blood tests & apt’s every month & for me to monitor everything myself. I can call Doc if I need to. Having read on this forum how lots

only one follicle final scan
hi all, just had what was meant to be my final scan before egg collection Friday - there is only one follicle at 21mms I think. They’ve done a blood test to check my oestrogen levels to see if it looks likely if there is an egg in there and will let me know this afternoon if egg collection will go ahead

Biotin
Hi please can you tell me how much biotin would affect blood test results. I am waiting for a doctors appointment , they have told me it will be between 2 and 4 weeks, but could be sooner. I am currently taking B complex supplement which contains biotin. I know the guideline is don't take for 7 days.

By how should I increase my prednisone?
Hi All,I have had PMR since 2011 when diagnosed. I had got down to 5mg of pred and was on this dosage for many years until I had a massive flare at the beginning of 2023 and I increased my dosage, then gradually came down to 8 and 3/4mg. I am a 72 year old fit male. I have been going to my physiotherapist
