I have been on Eliquis 5 mg once daily for the last 7 months after having a pulmonary embolism. After telling the ER doctor that both my brothers are positive for Factor V Leiden they tested me and found that I am also positive. ( This is a genetic blood clotting disorder & my insurance wouldn’t pay for me to be tested until I actually had a clot!). I will be on Eliquis for life now.

@bbmj06 MGUS stable for 20 years. Doc blaming MGUS for heart block, stroke, and now DVT and PE. Eliquis for life. I am reading that MGUS IGG/Kappa may react this way to COVID vax. I was in a Moderna study through Moffitt during the pandemic and am trying to get Moderna’s attention. Hence this post.

I have been on blood thinners for the last 20 months following a DVT and bilateral pulmonary embolisms. I too have Factor V Leiden homozygote. In my case I am on Rivaroxaban 20 mg (generic of Xeralto).
Discussing with the dr to reduce dose to 10mg. Trying to weigh the risk of thrombosis vs bleeding.
It seems ultimately it will be my decision which risk to live with. There is some research on the subject but not extensive as far as I can find.
