2nd DVT, any factor 5 folks here?

I am so depressed. I'll be 50 in Feb, I just received my second DVT, first one was over 5 years ago in my right leg. Doc took me off Wayfarin 4 years ago and everything was good until three weeks ago. Got a shallow clot 2 weeks ago, it dissolved as of Friday. Was starting mild exercise Saturday (Tai Chi). Sunday night I new I had a bad clot, went to ER first thing Monday morning.

I have factor 5 blood clotting disorder (~4% of the population has this). Anyone here have any personal/significant other info on living with this?
