Hi, I keep getting a lot of splinter hemorrhages, at the moment i've got 9. Does anyone know anything about them? Is this part of APS?
Thanks

Yes, it can be part of APS.
Have not heard of this term - what does it mean?
Yes it is a part of this disease. If you are on the proper dose of warafin you should notice a lot less splinter hemorages.

I'm a physician (not sure what a medic is)
Yes, they can be part of APS. I know of one patient who was diagnosed on this symptom alone - she had a very sharp doctor to notice that. She was also in her 60s so I'm not sure whether it is an age related feature?
I am 30 & frequently have flare ups for at least 5 years where 1-10 of them will show up at a time. I have had them before & during anticoagulation.
