The reason I ask, this autoimmune condition - Hughes Syndrome/APS otherwise known as Sticky Blood, is still being missed by GP's and Neurologists. Often people who have this condition will have unexplained migraines which do not react to migraine medication, often other family members past and present will have an autoimmune condition including Thyroid, or miscarriages and or heart attacks and strokes at a young age. Blood testing is around, but medical staff have to think to do the testing! Migraines often respond favourably to Aspirin or similar and if with history of clotting, anticoagulants. MaryF
