Has anyone on here been diagnosed with Factor V Leiden? I am on Eliquis and was told I would have to be on a medication indefinitely due to this. Eliquis is expensive but I have not had another dvt or PE since taking it since 2017.

I found out I have Factor V Leiden after my DVT years ago. After Warfarin/Lovenox I was out on 325mg aspirin until recently. Now on 81mg but this was before Eliquis was introduced. No DVT’s since but starting to have more swelling now that I hit 60. Happy to hear you’ve had 5 years DVT free!
Yes, I tested positive years ago when my sister had a problem. Until recently I had no problems but have been diagnosed with DVT recently. I am on apixaban (generic for Eliquis) which has been approved in Canada. Very reasonable cost.
