Thank you for your reply.
I had wondered if the pill form was a waste of time. I read others who said only fresh was capable of helping. I think the issue with many of us is....if it isn’t pretty simple, we are physically not able to do the work. Even getting into Covid Clinics is nearly impossible.
I finally got an appointment to see the only doctor in my area that has a protocol for LC. It has been months, and my appointment is still three weeks away.
I wonder if my husband will have to carry me in for my appointment. I look back at the last year and a half, and I’m really not sure how I made it to the dozens of worthless appointments. (Yes, I know others have been on this road much longer). My heart really goes out to people who are facing this without a supportive family or network of friends.
Sites such as this fill in the gap a bit I guess.
Hopefully the test for microclots will become more available. I’m certainly going to ask about it at the LC clinic.
Good luck to everybody.

Sorry that it has been such a tough battle for you. If you are not on blood thinners, such as statins, you could try some natural blood thinners. I will copy some references on them:
"Some foods and spices, such as cinnamon, cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger, and pineapple may contain substances that have anticoagulant properties."

"Another way to consume these herbs and spices is with tea. Turmeric tea and ginger tea can be made at home and added to your daily health routine.
When it’s appropriate and advised by a health care professional, using natural blood thinners, such as cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper and garlic, has antithrombosis and anticoagulant effects, boosting cardiovascular health and overall wellness."

I add some cinnamon and ground ginger to my coffee, with some almond milk and use a whisk. It is like a coffee shop beverage. I cut up a fresh pineapple and put the core in a food processor to get the bromelain that is a natural blood thinner. That is the source they use for bromelain supplements. You can be creative with some of the ingredients on the list. The strongest would be fresh natto, but it would be worth trying some of these common ingredients. Take care and hang in there.
