I was just diagnosed with High Factor Vlll blood clotting disorder. After being hospitalized from a saddle pulmonary embolism caused by DVT. At 60 years old, I was never aware of any blood issues. I now take blood thinners and will probably be on them for life.

@bearbait Welcome to Connect. You mentioned that you also have High Factor Vlll blood clotting disorder. Was this something recently diagnosed? Have you had issues with blood clots such as DVTs or pulmonary embolisms? Are you on any medications such as blood thinners to help manage symptoms?
