I have factor 5 leiden. It means my blood clots at a rate 8 x faster and more efficient/effective than a person with that gene being normal (most people).

It also means I'm susceptible to DVT’s. The first one is when I discovered I had this mutation, about 17 years ago. Sat in one position over an hour and a half with the blood to my leg not flowing well.

Second time was on a plane trip. Third time was just over a year ago in my heel area.

I need to stay away from Vitamin K, that which interferes with the blood thinners.

I had a BC in my left leg in Feb 20.

Didn’t know what it was. My leg swelled up and I went to the clinic and they said “You have to go to the hospital, like right now! We’re calling an ambulance!”...........
