Looking for an APS specialist in the San Francisco Bay area

[annabanana23]

Hi Everyone!

I have been suffering from POTS for over 7 years, and have had various ANA and C4 complement blood tests come back borderline over the years as well.

Most recently I got a borderline positive result for igG and Igm cardiolipins and am desperately trying to find a specialist in the area.

My primary care doctor and Rheumatologist both don't seem very concerned or really have any idea what APS is.

I haven't suffered any clots so far but am very scared it could happen if I don't find proper care.

Thank you so much for your help!

We have some similarities with the autonomic dysfunction and anti-phospholipid antibodies. I see a rheumatologist on the USCF website who could be a good person to see since he heads the lupus clinic. Please PM me if you want his name or if I can help in any way. KH
