Oh yes,yes,yes.

Well seems to be memory loss and brain fog . Can't function some days. I think its definitely part of Hughes. It also don't help with age.

Try to rest when your body is telling you that you are tired. Oh and bug your GP as much as you can if things get worse there is medicines out there. Oh and look on Hughes website that's good for info.

Kind'a goes with the territory, must tell you. But! - that does not mean you give up or in to it. A person without APS can get memory loss by being lazy with their brains, we have the opportunity to USE our brains. What I mean is, puzzles and games that exercise the brains are no different than exercise for the body. And, it does make a difference. Well, heck, I still trip myself up socially and get embarrassed and/or laugh, but what I want to convey is that please don't let this stop you from doing all you can. And, as Andrea says, there are days that are better and days that are worse and do get rest. Rest is so important!

All the best!

Hi there, I get some very foggy days.. but I persist in trying to play the piano or writing, it is difficult, but would be worse if I did not so... my husband likes to laugh about the fact that the worse I am in terms of communication - the more elaborate the dinner menu is! However he is not so thrilled with the mess during and after! Mary F x

That is funny I can relate. I have to look at the recipe 500 x though.

Yes, I used to get terrible brain fogs.

They improved on Warfarin and are even more improved on Fragmin.

Best wishes.

I feel bad for you. It is bad enough without a doctor that does not help you through it. If you see from responses we are not the "only patients" tks for responding take care.

Thanks Dave I am on Warfin...still having trouble. I going to try the new drug Zelteltro (spelling) I will not need to b poked all the time and will also not limit my diet. Maybe it will also help with the fog. I will mention Fragmin to my doctor.

Thanks for your help take care.

Hi there - Xarelto is the trade name for the new oral anticoaulant, Rivaroxaban. This drug hasn't yet been approved for people with APS. There is a three centre trial taking place in London now and the results should be available next year some time. I do know of people with APS taking Rivaroxaban because they are unable to tolerate warfarin, but you should maybe point this out to your doctor?

I did also have terrible brain fog. It approved on Warfarin but it is important to have an INR high enough!

God luck and thank you for an important question related to APS.

You are welcome because I do appreciate your response. I am very self conscious

About it. I did mention it to my hematologist and he said he noticed. I felt much better letting him know. He said he would call my family and explain this to them. Not to my surprise they did notice. Please hang in there and talk about it. Stay in touch.

I understand I have huges syndrome which is is a blood disease it also causes brain fog. Get rest when you are tired. Brain Fog loves tiredness.
