Hi all I had my 1st appt with a new hematologist referred to by my GP.. My husband and I liked him very much. He was well informed about APS and Lupus Anticoagulant. He is doing all blood work related to APS and LA that I haven't had done in about five years. Will take me as patient see him in three months unless i need to see him before that . He took me off of 325 mg of aspirin and put me on 81 mg his thinking was that high dose of aspirin maybe the cause of my bleeding problems, having my INR checked tomorrow.

Hi Strawberryblonde

I'm glad that you have a positive experience with you Haemotologist. It is so hit and miss and if you get an APS sceptic medc you are on a hiding to nothing.

Best wishes.
