Thanks, I’ll bear that in mind – hopefully I’ll tolerate the Clopidogrel, but good to know there are other options if needed.

Alan interesting reading . As you know there has been a few members of our family with blood colts .. to now know about the These tests have confirmed that you do have the prothrombin 20210 genotype heterozygous variant in your blood. This will increase the risk of venous thromboembolism and arterial thromboembolism. I will ask my doctor about this to test for me !! & also tell my sisters & brothers & family about this ..

As my clot hit my eye & I lost some sight ..

Aspirin at first was my meds .

Then I started on Clopidogrel but I didn’t get on with it as it caused me severe headache in the front & couldn’t cope with the pain … severe bruising too on my arms chest & legs ..

So I am on modified release capsules Hard Dipyridamole 200g twice a day after food .. for life . Headache went within days ..

So if you have any issues with Clopidogrel may be worth an ask ..

Brenda xx

All sounding good then .
As you know kia had an incident lately with her heart although no clot was detected however she had already been told she was at a higher risk of thrombosis from some tests she had and since your report back from the haematologist she is now waiting for some genetic testing.
