After being stable for a while, my INR tested at 1.7. Again, no change in diet, drinking, exercise, and not feeling unwell. I decided to self-fix the problem rather than gain heparin cover, aware that this could be unwise, but I had good results last time this happened so i will stick with it.
I took 10mg and 2mg next morning to make a total of 12mg dose for the period.
Next day tested at 1.9 and then 2.5 the next day.
This is further proof that it's an unstable drug, and can swing in either direction without warning. At least my testing picks up on it very quickly and lets me take action. I can only assume that other "stable" patients who are not self testing are going up and down all the time and mostly not realising it.
