My INR result is reducing
I have been taking Warfarin for 11 weeks following a Pulmonary Embolism. My INR once in range was stable ( therapeutic range of 2.5-3.5), but it is dropping 2.0, 1.9 and now 1.8. My Warfarin has been increased, but I am finding this result quite strange. I am feeling well and the only thing different

Warfarin or the new Anticoagulants Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) or Pradaxa (dabigatran)
Many of you who read my blogs know I keep banging on about your therapeutic range, which is measured in percentage of times your are within your range and The Gold Standard is 60%. At your next INR visit, why not ask your provider what your percentage is, it might surprise you. For those with excel

Flu Vaccine reminder
Hi Again Just a little reminder to those people who are entitled to a free flu vaccine just how important the vaccine is. According to the Department of Health last year only 50% of people with respiratory illnesses had the flu vaccine. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) have found that people

Lost a very important body part today!
Been in limbo for 24 hours, was I going to get a bed at RBH or not, slept fitfully, up at ten to six, walking Lottie Dog at seven. Not something I usually do so early, but feeling hot and flustered thought a gentle walk would be calming, which it was. Lottie has a new nickname, "Pork Scratching," and

Newly diagnosed..!
After spending the last twenty years following building work all over the country, I have never had a regular doctor I always used the walk in centres wherever I happened to be, eight months ago I collapsed at work gasping for breath so decided it was time to register with a doctor. Two months later
