Want to share some really good news. Going off Coumadin for good (hopefully) today!! Started on the stuff April 13, 1999. What a fantastic Christmas gift. I'm actually tearing up. It has been such a tremendous burden and now it's gone. I got a message that my 30 day event monitor showed no afib and some PVC'S. And Dr. Natale said it's ok to stop Coumadin. Today!!! I started the 30 day monitor right after my 3 month checkup because of feelings of afib during the night. Will pray that the rest of you can feel as free as I feel now. Merry Christmas! https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3910#msg-3910 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 16:21:16 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3961#msg-3961 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3961#msg-3961
Jim, I was once up to 12mg 3x/wk and 10mg x/week. I think it was in the summer when I was eating lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Seemed like I was constantly on a roller coaster with my INR level. Often getting my blood tested 3 x month.

Again, Merry Christmas!]]> njb AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 20 Dec 2003 17:32:28 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3960#msg-3960 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3960#msg-3960
Hey, man, good for you. Rat poison really isn't so good for us, is it? (Slurping it down 15mg 4 days/week & 10mg 3days/week). What a great feeling-just kiddding....

I'm so happy that things are going well for you. I agree about this medium and the support. It does get us through the rough times. While I don't have my all clear yet, I, too, am grateful for the skill and knowledge of Dr. Natale and his staff. I was fortunate to have access to them.

Have the merriest of Holiday Seasons - and the best New Year ever...coming up... and lasting for the rest of your life. New Beginnings are wonderful.

Kind regards, Jackie]]> Jackie AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 19 Dec 2003 14:32:30 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3922#msg-3922 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,3910,3922#msg-3922
Fran I do the same thing, even after 3 years off meds, I was taking a dose at 4pm and some days at 4 pm I feel like there is something I'm suposed to do, yes it is a good feeling not to take meds.

Hows this for getting stuck in routines. Every once in a while when going to bed or going out in the morning I get into a time warp and think did I take my meds. I just love that feeling when I realise I don't need to take them anymore. Makes me warm all over.
