Hello @awa and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I understand you were diagnosed with CVST last year. Thank you for sharing your story and I can only imagine that you are concerned about more clots in the future.

Are you still on blood thinners? How is your general health now that your clots have dissolved?

Hi Amanda,
I'm on 81mg asprin daily dose for another 6 months. My doc said I could continue the asprin for little longer if my headaches return after stopping it, but that's optional.
During my time on Apixaban, I had noticed a few blue/black bruises on my body multiple times. After starting Asprin, I again kept seeing random blue/black bruises. The six said with Apixaban the bruises were expected, but not with asprin. So currently multiple blood tests have been done to check for some clotting disorder. I'm yet to hear back on this.. hopefully nothing serious.
