A few very basic APS questions... Just curious

[Hilariew930]

I'm curious about what you do daily with APS and what makes you feel best? And some other stuff.... I tend to feel best when I can actually get the energy to exercise and cook right.... Sometimes it's so, so, so hard...

what is your treatment (warfarin, aspirin only, etc)?

How long have you been diagnosed?

Other AI diseases?

Type of exercise, if any?

Diet?

Supplements?

History of APS events?

Have you/ do you smoke?

Alcohol?

Hi there, I am sure a lot of us will be keen to give a rough idea of what we do... and do have a trawl through the polls which have been done over the months, as quite lot of these questions have been answered with visible charts attached. However I exercise and pace myself, diet good, drinking virtually never, makes me feel worse, natural foods, low gluten as well, processed foods avoided and also only apsrin, however I have four other diseases as well including hypothyroid M x
