This blog charts my experience on anticogulants, as a 32 year old in the UK, after having heart surgery to replace a faulty Aortic Valve.
I will attempt to share my knowledge in the hope that it will help other patients, something I could have found very useful.
This exposes the mess that our healthcare system has got itself into in the UK and shows some of the misinformation spread by health professionals about the drug.

Oxford University Study on Self Monitoring
I agreed to take part in the Oxford University self monitoring study. I hope that my contribution will help improve the ridiculous system we currently have in the UK.

So far i've had to send my results in once, and have had a telephone interview. They are very nice and friendly and I have chosen to tell them the truth about everything rather than hold it back as I do for other professionals.
Unfortunately it's not always easy to find the time to complete a telephone questionnaire, I would perfer to have done it online. Perhaps there's a reason - like the need for detailed explanations or interpretation of answers.
