It goes without saying, therefore, that a lot of whisky will help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 my old Dad used to say "get the whisky down your neck. manage your Warfarin, don't let it manage you"Very wise, your dad. Warfarin is horrible muck which caused me so many problems. Thankfully I now have treatment which does not require fortnightly blood tests. A tablet a day, that's all.
