Introduction

Hello I would like to introduce myself. My name is Leland Boekweg. I was diagnosed with Factor V Leiden 11 years ago when a blood clot was running the length of my left leg. I was 21 and that was the second time I had blood clots. I am the father of 3 children of which only one tested positive for Factor V Leiden. I recently had a scare that could have cost me a great deal. So I decided to start a blog and a community where people can share their stories and advice. I invite those with Factor V Leiden and medical professionals to join in the conversation. I will be posting facts and stories on this blog. Feel free to share your own stories and the things you have learned.
