I keep reading about blood clotting/thick blood and Lyme. I have tested for the above disorders that cause excessive clotting. Is this what is meant by thick blood?
I know that this has turned positive since the tick bite. I had previous testing when dh and I were going through fertility stuff because these clotting disorders cause infertility and related problems carrying a child. So I know they were negative 10+. Years ago.
Just wondering if this interferes with treatment?

Supposedly it (thick blood) can be a problem when treating. It should be addressed. Not just for the Lyme, but for your health in general.
Check out the posts here on heparin, nattokinaese (sp), and thick blood.

By treated do you mean baby aspirin? That is what the rheumatologist recommended
I have not been taking it though. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time based on what he said
