Stomach Bug

I had a bit of a stomach bug which included some Diarrhea - not terrible by any means, just a bit.

My warfarin was an obvious concern, so i monitored it every couple of days.  Everything seemed OK, and I fully recovered.  I then tested 2 days later and it had plummeted to the lowest ever - 1.8.

I was very concerned about this, and was considering going to hospital to get some Heparin cover whilst the warfarin was inaffective, but decided against.  It was only a little under acceptable, so i decided to take a high dose instead.  I took 9.0 and topped it up with 2.0 the next morning, effectively an 11.0 dose.

By the next day it had climbed to 2.1, then 2 days later to 2.8.  Back under control, thank goodness.

Here are the results and doses:
