Saw the hematologist today and he said that since all the other tests were negative that just the factor 8 alone due to no family history of blood clots and no history myself of any blood clots, that the aspirin and Lipitor I’m on are enough. My risk is still high but I can relax a bit since I’m doing everything I can to reduce my risks. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol, I exercise now and I’ve lost 10 pounds. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

That must come as a relief, @mbell. Congrats on taking control of what you can control and making the factor 8 your motivation to live healthy. What kind of exercise do you like to do?
