I had a 45 minute phone call with my GP's partner. Not my original GP I might note. She had a totally different attitude to him, and was happy to sponsor my own self testing and dosing.
She explained that not everyone was suited to it like myself, and apologised for the hassles the old system offered.
I now have PT Test Strips on Prescription as required for testing every 2 days.
In return so she can ensure I am operating safely, I have to submit a print out of my Warfarin diary every month, and go for a full blood test every 6 months. (Not another finger-prick test i might add).
What a total victory!!
