2018 I had several clots in my lung. After several tests I was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disorder called Antiphospholipic disease. My immune system attacks my blood cells the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that attack healthy tissues, causing excessive, dangerous blood clotting in veins and arteries. It leads to serious complications, including strokes, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pregnancy loss. The immune system makes antibodies that attack phospholipids, which are fats involved in blood cell membranes.
2025 I was diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera after complaining about nose bleeds, headaches, night sweats, dizziness and bruises. Blood work and a BMB confirmed I have blood cancer.
