Hi I also have a blood clotting disorder .

Mine is called factor v Leiden for which I take 75 mg aspirin per day .

Apparently it’s hereditary which dr argued at first that it wasn’t . Anyways after urging my daughter to get blood test sure enough she has it too .

I have Leiden 5 too I’m on riveroxaban which complicates nearly allOther medications. It is hereditary! Not sure where mine came from.
