Hello Hildred,
I take Coumadin, and am monitored every 4 wks generally,
unless I am having trouble keeping my INR numbers within desired range of 2.0
and 3.0.
I also find that it often doesn't relate to the leafy greens or
broccoli that I have or have not eaten. I cannot figure it out either, as
that is what should be affecting it, anything with a medium to high Vitamin K
count.
It's something that you may want to talk to your nurse or anti-coag
person who monitors you. I will do the same and we can compare notes, as
it really concerns me as well as to why this happens. Also, ask to have
them send you a list of foods that contain Vitamin K. You'd be
surprised at what foods have Vitamin K in them, and if you had a combination of
them, well, maybe that's why.
You think that you are doing what you should by eating small
portions of Vitamin K rich foods only a few days a week, and then BAM! Low
or high INR.
I'm not feeling all alone in the Coumadin business
now..................
