Hi Chapman,

Normally between 2.0 and 3.0. The doctor decides for you. Some people with APS must be much higher. Between 2.5 and 3.5 or 3.0 and 4.0. Read "Sticky Blood explained" by Kay Thackray.

I can say this as I am from Sweden so it is no advertising (I hope). It is a very good book about APS.

Here we have much sun in Stockholm. Take care and Good Luck to you from
