Anybody else have Factor V Leiden?

Welcome @hollyteachet. I moved your message to this more recent discussion about Factor V Leiden so you can connect with @patientk and others.

Are you back on Coumadin now?

Hi. I just returned from a Doppler having my second clot. I went off Coumadin to have surgery and was off too long

Previously I had a dvt almost 20 years ago I’ve been on Coumadin since.

Leiden Factor V is more common than you think.

I hope you remain healthy
