@predictable- Martin, so good to hear from you and thank you for sharing your experience with Coumadin.
Just for my clarity sake did you say that your blood coagulation dropped because your medical team asked you to skip your daily dose for two days and that is when you had a TIA?
I'm currently not experiencing any A-Fib and I will know this Thursday if my INR falls in the range we've been trying to find for over a month.
Glad to here you are satisfied with your team and what you are taking and a "steadily reliable" state is Wonderful!!
I will stay in touch with you as I jump through a few more hoops!
I always appreciate you candid and sage advise or simply sharing your life with all of us!
Thanks Much! Jim @thankful

Hi, Jim (@thankful). To answer your question, you understood my story correctly (except that I suffered a small stroke, not a transient ischemic attack (TIA) which would involve a shortage of blood, not a blood clot as I suffered). The clot formed when we interrupted my anticoagulation medication for two days because my INR had risen to over 5 for unexplained reasons. Ordinarily, my INR holds in the 2.1-2.6 range. Let us know how your INR is checking out and whether we can share more experiences that may be helpful. Martin
