The first clot was resolved but more were found.Recently I moved to FL and my new GP diagnosed me w polycythemia,based on the levels of my lab results.Then I went to a hemotologist who says its not poly... but I do have the mthrfr mutationWhat is going on, what can I do?,my Mother a pulmonary embolism,. My Grandmother died of a stroke,my brother is currently being treated for a clot in his calf, and worst of all my 12 yr old nephew had to be airlifted to LomaLindaChildrens after a clot was found in his neck.He tested positive for the leiden factor.I was negative. i would really appreciate any info on what it is Im dealing w.I also have a daughter who seems well but has not been tested,yet.

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
May be you are suffering from Homocystinuria, you should be getting yourself examined by a Physician. It runs in families and it is a Genetically Inherited Disorder. You may require high doses of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine).
A normal dose of folic acid supplement and added cysteine (an amino acid) in the diet is also helpful.
Kindly see your Doctor at the earliest as you need immediate medical attention.
Wish you Good Health and Take Care.
