Hi Sarahlou

We are not medical professionals on here so we cannot advise you on your question, which should be addressed to your medical team.

HI there, the relationship is that you have another autoimmune condition, it is common to have more than one so to speak. MaryF

We on his site are constantly asking and fielding questions regarding secondary symptoms and their possible relationship with APS. The book "Sticky Blood Explained" as well as the blogs ( and book) of Dr Graham Hughes are reliable sources of info regarding those " other " symptoms which have enough statistical data to make a link. I myself, while acknowledging that yes, I have osteoarthritis off the hip, never convinced any of my doctors that I, after years of record keeping, had concluded that a higher INR number meant less pain and that therefore, the OA may have necrosis of the hip as a cause. No one ever believed me. I eventually got the hip replaced and --I'll never know if the OA was caused by hip necrosis or not . Was I right or wrong? And at this point, it doesn't matter --at least to me. Though on behalf of others out there, it would be nice to know if there is a correlation

Sometimes I get this image of doctors in APS denial: those grade schoolers with their fingers in their ears screaming " Nah. Nah Na boo boo. I can't hear you". 😣
