Hi all, I've just been to see my Rheumatologist, I asked him how he came to the conclusion that I have Aps. He said I was seropositive and because of my very frequent migraines and livedo, but he still sent me for a blood test requesting Lupus anticoagulant.I thought this test is now out of date, am I wright. Thinking that. Thanks Elfie
