Thanks Steph...straightened my hair this morning...hope that doesn't unbalance that INR.

 

[Bubbsie]

Good luck and fingers crossed for you Bubbsie

Thanks Stitch...hope you straighten that blasted...patronising...Victorian referral doctor out...fingers crossed indeed.

 

[Bubbsie]

Good luck today love x hope all goes well x

Thanks Manda...much appreciated.

Absolutely spot on Carol...anything can upset that balance...if I try something new to eat...need to make sure I eat it regularly...or levels will go haywire...however if new foods not suitable for 'Betty' then can't eat it regularly...I don't self monitor...thinking about it...but hideously expensive...already self funding BG control...numbers have been rising slowly...so almost there...must be patient...not one of my greatest virtues...hope you rang that GP this morning?

Yes I did. Got appointment with practice nurse at 1000. Just came into living room, tv on mute, and what's on
But Jeremy Kyle, henchmen and all, glad I missed all that, not even entertaining

Update. No chest infection, virus, there's a cough going around lasting 6 weeks. Got laryngitis.no talking, take salbutamol inhalers 4 times daily, steroid one if chest tight(it is)for 2 months. Rest, honey and lemon, cold remedies that I am taking, self certificate and go back to see doc if I get worse. Got more food when I was out along with lemons and honey, so resting up now

Blimey Carol...thank goodness you went to the doctors...lets hope the meds do the trick...with rest...and some good food...put those feet up...hoped you taped Jeremy Kyle...you missed him this morning.

 

[Bubbsie]

Not a great success this morning...INR levels have gone from too low...to far too high...jut can't seem to get it right...lower medication...try again next week...not getting stressed about it...nothing I can do.

 

[Stitch147]

Sorry to hear that Bubbsie, fingers crossed you get the levels you need soon.

Bit annoying Stitch...much easier to control my BG...nothing I can do about it...trial & error I'm afraid...will just have to try and be patient...thank you.

 

[grovesy]

Sorry the results have gone the other way.

Hope it does the trick.

Trying to be philosophical grovesy...can't do anything about it...had blood tests and clinic visits every week for the last five weeks...back again next week for another try...it seems Warfarin is a prissy little madam...and won't co-operate until she is ready!

Oh dangnabbit, B.

(I am a calm person, I am a calm person ...... ) Never know, it might work after so long. Hope so!

Glad to hear no chest infection carol, still, you sound in a bad way. Happens to the best of us but hope you feel heaps better soon. 2 pillows? Glad you bought Honey & lemon, natural remedy to start with. Get well soon {{{hugs}}} thinking of you x

Oh dear Bubbsie so sorry to hear this. You know how the saying goes ' If at not you don't succeed, try try & try again' (Somethjng like that!) But you know what i mean. It must be a pain for you going back & forth for tests. Hoping you'll get it right soon. Thinking of you x

 

[stephknits]

sorry to hear that you seem to be on a seesaw - hopefully you can get off and go on a roundabout instead (hum, perhaps not a roundabout - I think this analogy needs a bit of work..)
