It seems that theoretically many, or all, types of infections can cause hypercoagulation states.
I'm leaning toward the theory of infection to explain my extreme hypercoagulation. Every time I try going off warfarin, I more or less immediately get pulmonary embolisms. Several years of using metabolic tools has done zero to improve whatever it is - although some of them massively help me cope, feel better, function, mask horrible warfarin symptoms, etc. Especially pregnenolone. I've used all the typical recommendations in high and low doses - aspirin, Vit E, Vit K2, progesterone, thyroid, etc etc, and still clotted.
Are there any particular infections anyone thinks I should get tested for? (And where to find inexpensive testing?)
I've already tried a variety of antibiotics and antibacterial herbs, etc, as well as antifungal things (Nystatin, Flowers of sulfur, high dose niacinamide, herbs, etc). Some of the antibiotic things have helped somewhat, but nothing fundamental so far. I'm currently starting to experiment with erythromycin, which is different from other things I've tried, and massively increased pregnenolone. Too early to say much though.
A relevant few of my many many many symptoms include diverticulosis, smelly discharge from between genitals and legs, and even some smell where my nose meets my face, fairly bad gut health though it gets decent with pregnenolone, yellowish and fragile stool that is in many tiny pieces when I look in toilet, ugly red inflamed face (was good looking naturally, just the illness making it ugly), have lost literally half the hair on my head or more in last couple years, losing my teeth to insanely rampant decay. Many many other weird symptoms.
I've thought hidden cancer a lot but I would think the metabolic things would have changed my situation but none did even though they do help my metabolism. Also, it's too hard to say how much of this is being exacerbated or sustained by warfarin's horrible toxicity.
I'm determined to figure this out but my life is slipping away. I'm 33 and my life was shattered by this in mid-20s. I want to lead a normal life, have relationships, love, etc and none of that is even remotely possible anymore these recent years.
