My doctors are planning to subscribe rapamycin also known as Sirolimus. Mainly because it seems to give good results with aPL antibodies.
Is the use of this medication familar to anyone? It is sometimes used, or more often? And are there any knownresults?
At this time I have considerable inflammation in the blood vessels in my lungs.
A big hug to all of you from Holland !

The lead article in the NEJM a few weeks ago was on the use of sirolimus in APS patients undergoing renal transplantation. It markedly increased graft survival in these patients and they showed some basic science studies demonstrating the mechanism. I do not believe there is any data using this drug for other manifestations of APS, but surely there will be many studies forthcoming and a trial of sirolimus in your case definitely seems reasonable.
Thanks for your information .Among with more stydyresults and this article my professor thought it woold be worth to apply it. I will keep you informed about the results .Will start next monday (sept 1)
I am already using this drug for two weeks now.it is making me a little high, just as if I am overdosed with prednisone. Because the level of medicine was too high in my blood they decide to prescribe lower dose. It is too soon to tell if this medicine works good on my inflamed blood vessels but at least I'm not feeling worse
Anyone with a similar experience?
Has anyone had problems with marevan?
Anyone had any luck with PIP?
Has anyone suffered with skin tears.
Anyone with APS have trouble sleeping?
