Hi there,
Has anyone ever had the feeling that one of the veins is being pulled and is on fire?
Hi there,

Hi tAigers:
That's a little vague. It could be a myriad of things from muscle pull, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, vein inflammation. The possibilites are endless with that much information. I'm afraid you should probably make a call to your emergency room and try to be more specific with the emergency room nurse. Are you previously diagnosed with anything? Age? Previous medical history. Without that information it's a little hard to identify anything specific. Write some more specific symptoms down and some helpful notes for yourself to explain this symptom and your past medical history. Then get a little direction from the professionals in the emergecy room. They may want to ultrasound it or at least examine it. Perhaps an adjustment to any meds you may be on? Well, not a time to guess. Make the call. You'll feel better and sleep tonight.
Warm wishes,

Hi there, the only time I've felt that was when I had a dvt. Angio doc said i also had flebitis. I'd go to the hospital, especially considering that you are an ApS patient.
Hi hon
Definitely get checked out, better safe than sorry! We all know our bodies and if something feels wrong, don't ignore it!
Recently had another dvt and as usual was busy, but had to go get it checked ended up on clexane for a while. Wasn't going to go cos it didn't hurt as much as previous dvt!?!? So you never can tell!
Let us know how you get on hon!
Take care gentle hugs love Sheena xxxxx
I don't know, but it sounds similar to what my DVTs felt like. DVTs are relatively easy to diagnose, and if you have one you really want the docs to find it before it decides to take a trip to somewhere else in the body, if you don't have a DVT --so much the better. (?) but do get it checked out.

Hi Gina,
I didn't go to the hospital in the end as:
1. I hate hospitals and 2. the pain went.
The leg is not the only place where I am getting sudden pain with fluttering blood. I have told my nephroloigist this countless times and she doesn't think it is anything to worry about. I have researched online and this I believe it to be part of APS. I am only learning about APS. My nephrologist says that I have had not had a bleed from APS but she believes that the APS caused the CKD. I am confused.
I am trying to teach myself about my illness. I have had private health insurance for years but suddenly stopped it when I was in college and now even though I have resumed it I will not be covered for a pre-existing condition for another 4 years this means I need to stay with the nephrologist I have. She is nice but I feel she doesn't tell me the whole story.
if you have any advice or web addresses that you could share I would appreciate it.
Thanks for the response,
Catherine
Hi there please feel free to educate her further with papers, medical ones which you can download from the Hughes Syndrome Foundation Website, and you could also pop this across to her:

ps I have handed out several of Professor Hughe;s books to people involved with myself and the children!
Hi, well my friend suggested it to me. I would drink it but there is a renal nurse involved in the business and she will be able to tell me about meds. I was just wondering if it was effective in boosting the immune system..
Yes echinacea can really aggravate autoimmune, I took it years back and it made me so ill... I now realize it can actually alter the white cell count. I took it years ago, of course not realizing that I had systemic lupus or any of my other things, my friends with colds and things felt it helped where as I felt absolutely terrible the twice I tried it. medherb.com/Materia_Medica/...

Think I will give it a miss then. I did try some before I was diagnoised with all this and I have to say I felt like my whole body was on fire....
