2 parts. Genetic disorder factor 5 Leiden. Not aa problem until a few years ago.
Also have an Autoimmune disorder. Had it since I was a teen. Made worse by my teenage love of mountain dew.
It’s a risk factor for clotting, and probably contributes. It also causes inflammation and neuropathy. It was was annoying and a slow but growing problem.
Then I got exposed to a LOT of natural gas from a mega rental company house.
Well dormant gene for factor 5 activated and I my blood went crazy. Lots of clots. Autoimmune also went nuts and decided that nervous system and various organs needed to die in a most painful way possible.
Took a few years to get it under control..ish.
Covid has clearly made it worse.
