Von Willebrand's: There is no reverse of von wwillegrand's disease. It is passed on as a dominant gene. I am sure that you were tested for it in the hospital and don't have it. You should review your history of recurring blood clots with your doctor. You and he(she) can review the causes and plan a course that will decrease your risk of repeated clots.
