Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I have posted my situation w/thick blood in the recent past. My fibrin level is 1200 when the top reference number is 315. I have been on a blood thinner for three weeks and my doctor is slowly realizing this is a dangerous condition. Just rec'd a call from his office yesterday telling me to take four fish oil capsules per day in addition - and come in for another clotting test in two weeks.People have contacted me directly with information that I need to share. This thick blood has a couple of names: Syndrome and sticky blood syndrome. Google Syndrome and all sorts of info comes up. This condition often "travels" with Lupus but is not diagnosed separately, and not treated separately. Also, a high percentage of MS people are misdiagnosed and actually have Syndrome rather than MS. MS treatment doesn't work for them either. Syndrome is a dangerous condition as it can lead to strokes, heart attacks, siezures, etc. Not to mention the day-in-day, day-out lack of oxygen to the body and brain. However, it is treatable once you know you have it. Doctors are miserably unaware of this condition and don't know it when they see it. Blood viscosity is not taught in medical school. The test I took is the first of its kind ordered by my doctor. I became aware of it through Dr Rowen's newsletter, Second Opinion. My doctor is widely recognized and very alternative so you can imagine how uninformed the average doctor is.If any of you are interested in the lab that does this test, please contact me directly.Or, I believe it is listed on Dr Rowen's website. His article references fibro, CFS, and mystery pain may be caused by thick blood. Barbara Lochner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
