[More] as Antithrombin 3 deficiency. There were times when I would be tested and I produced a very positive lab test demonstrating the Factor 3 deficiency it was usually when I was on Heparin. But when I was on large doses of Coumadin I would not produce a positive Factor 3 deficiency. I carried that diagnosis until 1997. I was told it did not exist. I was also told they did not know why I was clotting. In 2003 I was given a viper test twice and popped up positive strongly. I now carry the diagnosis of Lupus Anticoagulant Disease.
