The only solution the Drs can say is that Im just a mystery, something genetic. Any clots that form now are caused by being less active or immobile due, secondary to MS, not directly related. I get more fatigued not only from the MS but also due to poor circulation in the legs.
So what Im saying, is MS or other chronic diseases linked? In my own opinion I really do not think so. The reason why I say that is because I was having coagulation problems many years before the MS.

I agree, I also don't think that MS or other chronic diseases are linked but I feel that if someone has hypercoagulation that can be causing or adding to there fatigue. I also have a hypercoagulation issue but have never had it treated, I didn't know that it could even be a problem until now.
