Blood work is routine for me, too. I have a rare genetic condition from birth, called congenital factor S deficiency, which causes my my blood to clot too easily. So, I have to take blood thinners to survive.

Funny, I didn't find out about it until over four years ago. when I had a pulmonary embolism. Fortunately, I caught it in time with no damage anywhere in my body. So, I know medically how it is.

Wow Degas glad you caught it on time and are aware now! Yep all we can do is adjust our life style and try our best. 

Yeah. Only 400,000 people worldwide have the disorder. One in 20,000 people. I am lucky to be still alive. But, I am otherwise in very good health.
