Lupus anticoagulant And Oral Biopsy

Hi could anyone help me please? I've been told I have a lupus anticoagulant in my blood.

DVVRT last week was 1.31

DVVRT three months ago 1.33

Eight months ago 1.22

High ESR 60-70

Fibrinogen 4.3 (normal<4)

History of TIA, possible stroke?

Miscarriage X 1 at 11 weeks

General feeling of heaviness/ache in legs after long haul flights --relieved by couple of days of Aspirin 300mg daily.

I was told I have lupus anticoagulant but don't need to worry or do anything by my rheumo at the time 3 months ago. I have oral biopsy due under general anaesthesia. I'm very concerned. Not getting much help from GP regarding this. I can not see Rheum before surgery. Any advise will be much appreciated. I know it will be from your personal experiences. I have been given the website for APS by a kind member.

Thank you so much.

Yes in UK london..oral biopsy is for some lesions on my tounge and tonsils. I'm concerned about clotting with my history.

Hi

Because by of high esr I was tested nearly a year ago, which showed DVVRT 1.22 then 6 months later was 1.33 and now 1.31. Ana was weakly positive with diffuse pattern 1:80 titre.

Rheumy said I have lupus anticoagulant but I don't need to worry about it. I asked him if I should take aspirin and he said no.. I don't know!! It seems different to all other things in reading.!

He did not "I don't know", that's me getting frustrated!
