My granddaughter has just been found to have Factor V. They thought she has had a spinal stroke, but now seem to think it is transverse. I have had 4 DVT's and many superficial . I just got over phlebitis and no one has ever told me in all these years about factor V. I hope that has not caused her paralysis, but could it. Everything I have been reading about Factor V is what has happened to me since I was 26 years old. Should me and My daughter be tested? I never knew tthis disorder existed until today. I am 62 years old.
