My Brother (Who is only 20 @ the time now 21) was put in the hospital with a clot. They are treating him with medication, but still can not find the reasoning for his thick blood. They have checked him for the Dutch Lieden factor 5, which came back negetive. Any one who would have information on any health problems in the family it would be greatly appreciated. Our father also has problems with his blood having clots at about 20 year old, I also know that there are heart problems as my Grandfather died of a massive heart attack. We have also learned that there are cases of Fybromailgia in the family (two in my immediate), diabeaties/Hypoglysemia, Arthritis, OA, and RA. My E-mail is shaw_cline@netzero.com Thank You.
