Hi - I presume you are taking this because you have anitphospholipid antibodies as well as lupus?

You might want to ask this question in the Hughes Syndrome community as I know some people with Hughes syndrome/APS are taking it already. It is being trialed in London over the next year or so, and the results should be available next year.

Yes I had a pulmonary embolism about 16yrs ago, shortly after treatment I started to suffer shortness of breath which was passed off as, lungs sensitive to the cold air. As I used to drive it didn't worry me too much, only since walking for public transport it has become an issue. Plus I am now under a much better consultant, they suspect that there may have been remnants of the clot causing me chest pains. I am under 'lung function' and rheumatology. Thanks for your responce, I will ask the question though.
