Out of touch

Char...i only had to take it for 6 months and i ate a pretty consistent diet so my INR did not change drastically but i did have to have it tested weekly until they were sure i was on the right dosage...after about 4 weeks i only had the test done monthly. Here's a little sheet on diet and coumadin

Hi Charlotte
Sorry you have had to deal with this aswell as everything else.Hope your soon feeling better and your appetite returns quickly.
Take lots of care love Lisa x

Thanks everyone for your responses they make me feel better. Pat they are saying DVT found it on an ultrasound. Hopefully the cumidin is a short term problem I think it is what's causing my lack of appetite.

Welcome Home, Charlotte!

What a lousy thing to happen....but it seems if you are going to get a blood clot it will happen while doing chemo. Funny - I had open-heart surgery two years ago to replace my aortic valve and chose a tissue valve because I did not want to have to take cumadin the rest of my life. Now, as a result of DVT, I will have to anyway.

Hope you get your appetite back because it is soooooo important that you eat! We've missed you.

Take good care!
Sandy
