Factor 5 Leiden (blood clots) runs in my family, I haven't been tested, but lately feeling the typical symptoms in the back of my legs, behind the knees and calves, feels like a charly horse coming on. I started taking a daily baby aspirin hoping to get relief without having to go to a doctor. I take nightly melatonin (10mg). The only side effect of the aspirin is the frequent bruising, which I don't like. I will be increasing my melatonin gradually. Thank you Art for your helpful articles!

Anyone else here with FVL?

I have Leiden V... I didn't know this, and had no issues with it, until I developed a nasty DVT in my rt leg, above knee down to ankle... I doubt Leiden V was the sole cause, I also had knee injury that pretty much immobilized the leg, AND... was just starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which has clotting as a potential side effect... the combo of the three factors was too much.

I refused taking Eliquis, Xarelto or Warfarin, which caused my doctors to go bananas, several dropped me as a patient... but used Lumbrokinase and Serrapeptase to pretty much dissolve the DVT in 2.5 months... unfortunately, the DVT caused some pretty bad damage to my vascular systems in the leg... so I still get a "wooden" feeling often and have lots of purple veins showing in my rt ankle. I still take Lumbrokinase several times/week... and am taking aspirin pretty much daily, from 1 to 4 baby aspirin daily... I would take serrapeptase too, but don't want to thin my blood too much, as I regularly take vitamin E too. I work on the treadmill often, seems to help a lot in rebuilding the leg muscles and veins, the leg was badly atrophied after the clot... (inactivity) still is a bit more red than the lt leg...circulation not fully recovered and it may never be... and a bit bigger in the calf area.

The Imbecile Docs that gave me testosterone never bothered to check for Leiden V first. :-(
