I have not posted in awhile and for the most part I have been feeling great about 80% of symtoms are gone or not as bad.

I went back to dr. last week cause I was having very heavy periods like bleeding after I had my kids.

They did bloodwork and iron and everything was fine but the pi i think it was called.

And the dr said by this it means my blood does not clot.

It used to lol he referred me to a hemotologist.

Does anyone else have or had this problem please let me know I am completly baffled as wel as dr.

What supplements are you taking? Maybe you are making your blood too thin?

Usually with lyme, a lot of people have the opposite- I have sticky blood. I think the test you are referring to is called pro-time or something like that.

Some supplements can definitely thin out your blood, aspirin too. Just wondering if that is having an effect on your blood now.

I agree with Maureen-I have had open heart surgery because of Lyme and have my blood tested weekly because my blood has been too thick.

I was in the hospital 10 days after my surgery because of the sticky blood, not because of pain etc?

I have been told that lyme causes sticky blood.

Im really not taking anything at this time but baclofen we decided since I was feeling so much better to try a three month break and see.

I take b12 and a multi

I was not sure if was related to lyme or something completly different.
