From over clotting to low platelets

Had low platelets for years hovering at high low/low normal. Dx with Sjogrens in 2019, Anti phospholipid syndrome this week 4/26. Still awaiting rheumatologist assessment. In a genetic test, high confidence for congenital Factor V deficiency & 1 gene for a Factor V Leiden, making me a Factor V Leiden pseudo Homozygote with activated resistance to protein c. As much risk as Factor V leiden homozygotes (2 genes.) also have familial hypertriglyceridemia aka type 5 hyperlipoproteinemia confirmed and exacted by genetic test. And high lipo(a).

Hi @beekb You’ve had some interesting discoveries in your blood chemistry. Having the genetic panel run certainly provided you and your doctor with a plethora of information regarding potential clotting issues along with also having abnormal lipid issues. What led to this latest testing for anti phospholipid syndrome? Did you have a clotting event?
