Thanks for posting because the public needs to be aware of Factor V Leiden disorder. I have this problem and had my first DVT as a teenager. Luckily I have not had a second occurance in over thirty years.

It’s scary that a long plane or car ride could become fatal, but knowing about it could save some lives.

I had a pulmonary embolism in 2003 and was tested for Factor Five..the docs swore it was from that. But it wasn’t thank God.
