Yes I've had a couple DVT. I was 44 the first time, and what a disaster it was! In the hospital a long time, open heart surgery and nearly lost my arm. I was put on Coumadin, which is a good blood thinner, but I had a very hard time getting good PT/INR numbers. Eventually I was put on Eliquis which doesn't work as well for me. Have had some clotting issues. It's just not fair that we were given this little known mutation which is always there waiting to kill us.
