F.A.Q's in depth

Click the questions for the reply

Does joint pain worsen when it is hot?

I seem to get heavy legs within about 30 seconds of walking, is this part of APS?

 Is it possible to carry a baby to full term with APS?

Does APS just 'Go away'?

Can someone please tell me the symptoms of LUPUS compared to APS?

I am not on Warfarin, but am on blood thinners. Every so often my speech gets slurred, and it has been noticed that at the same time I snore.  Why?

What is the death rate from APLS?

I have been diagnosed with APLS after recurrent miscarriages, recently I lost vision in my right eye and had real problems talking or understanding what was happening around me. The doctors at A&E said I was having an Occular Migraine, should I be worried about this?

Are APLS patients more likely, than the population at large, to develop coronary artery disease?

I have read messages that mention it and I have Iron deficient anemia and wondered if it is a symptom of the APS?

If your IRN is raised enough do you get some relief from the headaches?  My range is 2.5-3.5 but have hardly had a day free from pain in the last 3 years.  I have been on Warfarin since 2001 at first my range was 2-3 then in 2003 I had either a clot in my brain or a migraine, the doctors couldn't agree, so my range was increased just in case.

Here are 2 questions in one mail:

I am currently experiencing superficial blood clots more frequently.  I have one in the hand right now (seemed to start in the thumb joint), about a month ago one in my forearm and in my calf. I am currently on coumadin for APLS.  I also wonder if it's an indication that they aren't keeping my INR high enough to prevent these.

Also, do people with APLS have a higher incidence of getting rheumatoid arthritis?
