Hi all
Can I ask if red dots are a part of hughes syndrome I have been getting these red blood looking dots all over my body I wasn't worried at first but now one has appeared on my face so I am concerned. Any way I can stop them. I have also started getting head pain, I have had 2 lots of clots on the lung and have had a filter fitted
I am so fed up of being so tired all the time. I also have a under active thyroid,
Sorry to be a pain but some of the simptums are worrying
Hello spider7
I see that you asked about these spots two months ago and several people replied and my colleague, Mary, gave you a very full response. I certainly have had these and they seem to come and go and do not seem to cause any issues. I have no idea whether they are related to APS.
Headache is a major symptom of APS.
Who is managing your APS and what medication are you taking. If you have had two PEs, (clots on the lungs), you should be on anticoagulation medication.
As my colleagues said previously thyroid issues are common in APS patients. You should press for a full thyroid scan, including the various T3 & T4 tests, not just the unreliable TSH test that many Drs think is adequate.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Yes it is important to always have a list of questions for you GP, when you see them, hand a copy to them and keep one for yourself, to make notes on as you speak with them. Make sure that they go through the questions with you and tht they answer them adequately too.
Where are you from?
Best wishes.

Hi, I remember answer you before about this, sorry you feel so rough, do you have a recommended specialist looking after you? One from our list of recommended specialists? Also it is crucial to make sure your Thyroid is adequately monitored and looked after and also that your levels of Iron, B12 and D are kept running smoothly. MaryF
I am under DR Cowin sorry I do remember you posting me about this but I am so worried as more thing keep going wrong my doctor checked my thyroid and also awating blood tests . I am on iron tablet every day. What else can I do to help I am on a healthy diet.
Thank you
Do you just have a GP or consultant also, as it would be helpful for your GP as well as yourself to be referred to somebody off our recommended list of specialists. Also the tests I recommend above. They may need to try different drugs with you until things settle down a little. I hope things improve for you. If you get new rashes always photograph them in case they disappear when you are due to see the doctor!!! MaryF
Thank you for your post I have only had them for about a year
look up Petechiae -- it is normally on legs and abdomen -- I had it from ankles to neck and when i showered it bloomed --and I also had some swelling issues along with it ---anyways --look it up and see if it looks like your problem -- when i went to the ER the tried to tell me it was hives ??? let me know as it is what happened to me mayoclinic.com/health/medic...
Thank you for your comments will look it up
If I'm understanding what you are referring to, I had those show up on my right shin. I didn't pay a lot of mind Tomita but was curious. I have no pain or other sensation with it, but they are tiny bright red spots, like blood under the skin from a suction mark.
I'm still have them. It's been about a week now.
Red lumps on leg. 
Struggling to remember appointments
High blood pressure
