2/16 - M-Spike: 0.3, going to try Cholestyramine powder twice per day to see if it helps with diarrhea. Also, Angela recommended changing from Warfarin to Zaralto.  Test data indicates it is a better drug.  It is a pill and works like Lovenox with no blood testing required.  I asked if it is affective against PE (pulmonary embolism) and they are checking the data, but believe it is. Zometa today
