re: Cranberry and Coumadin.
As long as your INR is within the range it is supposed to be in then there is 
no problem. Continue doing as you are and advise your MD that this is what you 
have been doing for 2 yrs with no problems, but if the INR were to get too high 
then you should cut down/stop taking them.
Also too many leafy green (dark green) are not recommended when on Coumadin...

Hi Grace,
Sorry to hear that people 
have nothing better to do than chastise someone for writing in all caps.  
Even though I personally find it a little harder to read, I do not delete those 
messages.  I just take more time in reading them.  Everyone's messages 
are important to me.

  Hi 
  Guys,
   
  You know, 
  there are several of us who need to write in caps, due to severe vision 
  problems.  Though I don't use caps, I do use large font.  I have to, 
  in order to see what I am writing.  Recently, one of the long 
  term members of the TMIC, who is also a personal friend of mine, received 
  an extremely obnoxious email regarding this.  (Complete with 
  *language*.)  You know, this little group is for the most 
  part---wonderful.  It was the very first site that I discovered 
  at the time of my NMO diagnosis, and I have been made to feel at home 
  here.  It's like having a virtual *family*.  This 
  unnecessary haranguing, of a long standing member, has left a very bad taste 
  in my mouth.  Think of it this way:  In the big scheme of 
  things, say, ten years from now, is it really going to *matter* if 
  someone had to use caps in order to communicate?   I know that I, 
  for one, will certainly not be thinking about something as trivial as that 
  whenever I prepare to meet my Maker.  Let's put it to rest, okaye? 
  
   
  Grace

Jenna-You seem like a really nice person
I don't normally write much on this organization but could you forward my 
inquiry onto others. I was reading the precautions on my coumadin prescription 
& it said not to ingest any cranberry products. (juice, etc) This really 
wouldn't be a big deal except I really need to take cranberry extract pills 3 X 
a day to help alleviate burning in my urinary tract system. I have been taking 
these two (coumadin & cranberry extract) for months now & haven't suffered any 
adverse effects. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions for something other 
than cranberry that I could take? Or should I just continue on taking it? Thank 
you very much- Bobby

 Please make sure this is taken care of - you don't want to see me talking to 
someone about this.. 



Be sure & cancel your credit cards before you die. 

This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service being what 
it is today. 

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February & March for 
their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees & 
interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now it's somewhere 
around $60.00. 

A family member placed a call to Citibank: 

Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you that she died in January." 

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees & charges still 
apply." 

Family Member: "Maybe you should turn it over to collections." 

Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been ." 

Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?" 

Citibank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to 
the credit bureau; maybe both!" 

Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?" 

Citibank: "Excuse me?" 

Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you . . . the part about 
her being dead?" 

Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor" 

Supervisor gets on the phone. 

Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January." 

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees & charges still 
apply." 

Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?" 

Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?" 

Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given) 

Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?" 

Family Member: "Sure." (the fax number is given) 

After they get the fax ... 

Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can 
do to help." 

Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep 
billing her. I don't think she will care." 

Citibank: "Well, the late fees & charges do still apply." 

Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?" 

Citibank: "That might help." 

Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69." 

Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!" 

Family Member: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"
