Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 One more bit of info and I promise I'll be quiet again. I also asked my doctor one time if she thought my emotions had any effect on my clotting or my protime and she said " no " but then later I learned that emotions DO effect the blood. Stressful emotions can trigger hormones in the blood that DO make a person more likely to clot. so, I wonder, if there are more incidents of people clotting in the winter, when their moods take a dip due to lack of sunshine, and in addition they become deficient in sunshine energy which compounds the problem?

Thank goodness, more and more doctors are starting to recognize that we are body/ mind/spirit. <Stressful emotions can trigger hormones in the blood that DO make a person more likely to clot. so, I wonder, if there are more incidents of people clotting in the winter, when their moods take a dip due to lack of sunshine, and in addition they become deficient in sunshine energy which compounds the problem? > Sunny, it makes totally perfect sense to me.
