Hi Lesley

These people were very good and covered me given that I have APS and had had heart bypass surgery too.

Good luck and best wishes.

Hi there, I have APS and had a stroke 6 years ago. I was refused travel insurance initially but then used Swinton as a broker and they got me insurance, I paid about £150 for a year, but their reasoning was that if I was being treated for my illnesses, then I was probably safer than someone who had not yet been diagnosed. Sensible thinking. Much love and enjoy your holiday Mary H xxx

Hi Lesley_D

I have APS, Lupus & Addisons and it costs me around £150 for two weeks winter sports cover. I think it would be around £120 without the winter sports.

Hi Lesley

This is a very common question for APS patients - our charity will be providing patient generated information on travel insurance on our new website - to be launched this autumn. In the meantime, the patients ran a poll on this a while ago and you can see some of their answers on there: hughes-syndrome.healthunloc...

Virgin travel insurance was very reasonable for me a couple of years back

You might want to try Travel Guard. I think they have several coverage options and one may permit treatment for pre-existing/currently diagnosed conditions.
