Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hello Beth My daughter and I both developed clots near our picc lines. Blood volume seems to be low in tbd patients but highly coaguable. 80 % or so have coagulation issues with lyme and many of those have genetic defects that are associated with high coaguability. I have 2 copies of Mthfr C677 T which they think is a risk factor for blood clots, heart issues etc. I would get all tests for hypercoaguability (genetic issues) Factor V leiden, Mthfr and others. A hematologist will know all the tests or your LLMD should as well. Some people use Lovenox shots, heparin shots, warfarin or coumadin or aspirin or Curcumin.   Research and you will see this mentioned. Also Dr.Crist in MO mentions this on his website.   Regards, Dolores From: Beth Freishtat <beth@...> Subject: [ ] URGENT question -- blood clot , CaliforniaLyme Date: Friday, January 28, 2011, 7:49 PM  My 9 year old had her pic line put in yesterday and she was saying her arm hurt last night.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I know both of my daughters had a lot of pain in their PICC arms for at least a week after insertion. No bloot clot though. ________________________________ From: Beth Freishtat <beth@...> ; CaliforniaLyme Sent: Fri, January 28, 2011 11:49:51 AM Subject: [ ] URGENT question -- blood clot My 9 year old had her pic line put in yesterday and she was saying her arm hurt last night.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Many lyme patients have hypercoaguability...check for genetic defects causing hypercoaguable states. I have 2 copies of Mthfr C677 T From: Natasha Moiseyev <nmoiseyev@...> Subject: Re: [ ] URGENT question -- blood clot Date: Friday, January 28, 2011, 8:44 PM  I know both of my daughters had a lot of pain in their PICC arms for at least a week after insertion.
