Feel better! Less medicine is always a win, it is getting balanced that is the suck!

I made an appt for 11:15 today.
Signs of coumadin toxicity include extreme tiredness due to low iron and difficulty breathing... Maybe I shouldn't read those right now. lol
Signs of anemia also include being tired, dizzy, and short of breath.

I actually feel ok at the moment, just weak. I imagine that I need less coumadin because my veg intake is extremely low right now.

how often do they test? Once we got it stable I had to go once every 2 weeks I think.

[Pebbles67]

When I am stable, it is once a month. I'm due for a test, but I made a major diet change in the last month as well.

yeah, when I went back to low carb when I got out of the hospital, I ended up getting off of the BP meds. Luckily I have not had a recurrence of the PE so they took me off the coumedin as well, fingers crossed on that one!

[Pebbles67]

I'm happy for you. Yours may have been a one time thing. I actually have some weird clotting disorder. Maybe with lchf I will be able to get the coumadin down to normal levels.

[demuralist]

I hope you can as well! Mine were very high when I was on it, so I am very happy not to have to keep it up. They never figured out why I got the PE, which is a little disturbing

Be careful, P.

Thinking of you, Paula.

oh man, the circus and the red tent with very thin blood. Hoping they can lower the dose today, luckily the dosage seems to have a pretty quick response.

Aren't you back yet?
