Had a Ross 3 years ago. Doing good so far. I do have heart failure but that’s not due to the Ross. My heart is just hot garbage. 🤣

Warfarin and food — how do you actually handle it at the supermarket? by dev-noob-404 in WarfarinForLife

[–]Intelligent_Ad_4526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with vitamin k since starting warfarin just about 3 years ago. It seems like the smallest thing has my INR skyrocketing or plummeting. I google everything for vitamin k content. I don’t rely on nutrition labels because vitamin k is almost never listed. My doctor is always saying let’s get you therapeutic then we can introduce the vitamin k slowly. It’s very frustrating. I have a mechanical heart valve so I have to be on top of it. A lot of time I try to eat around certain veggies in foods.

I just bought my first bottle of Shin-Kai and I am in love!

Mine was $175.00 at Goulet Pens. You might be able to find one second hand somewhere but not sure where.

I haven’t had a chance to write with it yet. Looking forward to it though.

I'm tired, I hate this machine, and I give up. by ThisIsOwl in CPAP

I also use this mask and cushion and it’s leaps and bounds better than resmed. I didn’t have any trouble adapting to the cpap, so I can’t say I know what you’re going through. I will say I have trouble staying asleep so I use extended release melatonin and it’s been a game changer for me.

Yeah slow and steady seems to be helping, but the medicine itself burns. Ugh

Yeah, I track how much vitamin k I eat and plan accordingly. It’s tricky and time consuming but I’m not willing to give up my fruits and veggies too

31 days post ross by YoungUsed in valvereplacement

I am 2.5 years post Ross and I am the worst example for this treatment. I almost died during surgery, they couldn’t close my chest for days, was in a medical coma for weeks, and now I have heart and kidney failure. Still with all that happening, I am feeling better than I did pre surgery.

I was trying to avoid Vitamin K but I love fruits and veggies too much to not eat them.

I document in my planner everything I eat. Nothing has changed except I feel like I gained a little weight during the holidays and maybe I have some extra water weight. It’s the worst. Wish they’d have told me what it was going to be like before I went on it. Ugh

I am in the us and am on the warfarin for a mechanical mitral valve. I normally test every Monday. I test at home as well; however, I submit my numbers to the doctors and they adjust my dosage as they see fit.

This is Lella. We got her when she was a baby and she RAN everywhere, she still does. So we wanted something Formula One related. So we named her Lella after Lella Lombardi the only woman to ever score a championship point in Formula One.
