My dad died a year ago and during his last few years he was hospitalized several times for near-fatal blood clots. He was on blood thinners self-administered daily. No one knew why he suddenly came up with blood clotting problems. I researched and found that Tegretol could contribute to clotting, possibly. He raised the concern with his doctors who said only, "No."

It has always bothered me that they never knew the cause of the sudden onset of blood clots but immediately dismissed the involvement of Tegretol as a possible contributing factor.

To muddy the waters, (or maybe to clear them) he also suffered from chronic lymphocytic leukemia, an infection from which finally did him in. Hmmm... That name sounds like an immune disorder?

Just throwing out some factoids for those who might be able use them in piecing together whatever puzzle you might be working on.
