Greetings! 4th DVT

Posted by allis45 @allis45, Dec 29, 2024

Just a brief summary. I had my first blood clot in my left leg in 1997 and was hospitalized. Diagnosed with Factor V Leiden. Began Warfarin therapy. Had three more blood clots (all in left leg) since then, mostly due to eye surgeries when I had to stop Warfarin and bridge with lovenox. My last clot was in October. I was therapeutic with Warfarin, so this was a surprise to me and my Dr. Stopped Warfarin and started lovenox injections. Six weeks later(!) finally saw a blood disorder clinic. Blood drawn, many clotting disorder tests were done. Scheduled for deep ultrasound in two weeks. Resumed Warfarin, bridging with lovenox. Other than the above, I am in good health. I will update this post when I know more. Cheers!
